Hi there,
Welcome to the site, I am sure you will find a friendly bunch of members, from all around the world. All in all it is a great resource and the Sherman looks really good, so lets see more of your work displayed in the future.

Just something I can think you could add.
If you have those small drills,#'s 60 to 80,there are
many small drain holes you could drill on the
splashguards near the various filler caps.
These allowed water to drain away,resulting in stains.
Align the hole with the lowest point on the curve.
Remember to drag a small thin streak of rust or oil downfrom the hole.
K ration boxes tied to the back deck ,would be a nice addition.
Would it be possible to fill the seam between the transmission
and the bolt strip,this was continuous.

Nice build, welcome back to the hobby! One thing you must not do is allow that Sherman to take a hard right into that microwave, bad things could happen! lol

Gday GRD1
This has come up nice
How about some grime/mud around the running gear and some dust blended up the sides of the hull a little? Woulod add some good contrast to this OD beast
Oh, welcome aboard also!
The more Sherman producres the better
Cheers
Brad
