Hi all,

Today I took advantage of the good weather (which lasted for about 30min, all cloudy the rest of the day) to take some pics of my completed Pershing.

The sun proved to be a bit too bright for the other pics so I'll have to make some new ones soon but I liked this one:

More pics will follow

Very nice there Martin! The first photo (if I hadn't known better) almost looks like the real thing! Must be the angle of the shot.

Great job!

Going to continue those plans on a Sherman Erik. Just too difficult on the Pershing.

Martin, that looks totally awesome.
You should do an On Display with it.

All that work, and you will still be shot to pieces during your next club meeting... :-) :-) :-)

Serious Martin, it's a stunning model. Do what Dave says and make a "on display"

Cheers

Building this tank was awesome. Really cool with all the nice functions like the sound, gun etc!

They're expensive but worth it!
