Hi Guys,

A little more work on the early version. Side skirts and rack fitted and I'm just working on blending the new parts into the build. Crew are under construction so some progress.








Feedback and thoughts welcome.

Cheers

Al

Greetings all,

I was hoping for a bit of feedback on this one. Were you all watching the rugby/football of is it a holiday for Sherman fans and no one told me :-) :-) :-)

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Al

I've given up on the Rugby with both my teams palying at the lowest extremes of their game (Waratahs and Wallabies).
Having gone to all the bother of doing a DV hull why not give it a great colour scheme? Do you have copy of Codename Swallow - Shermans at Alamein? It has many nice schemes for them or do the age old Bays or 9 lancers one with the green cam.
Nice build but the all over scheme is wasted on this gem. Just my thoughts - back to the Rugby
Cheers

Hi Al,

I'm pleased to say Ireland are still in with a chance after winning the tripple crown so I'm a happy bunny there.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I have Op Swollow but wanted to do a 'pinki, just wasn't sure how pink it should be lol, lol.

There is one shown in Osprey's Modelling Manual M4 Sherman but it looks a bit too pink to me?

Thanks for that, I'll think on it.

Cheers

Al

Hi Al

Mike Starmer's provisonal mix for Desert Pink Z1 is 4 parts Humbrol 34 White to 1 part Humbrol 118 Tan.

All the best

David

Hi Guys,

David, thanks for that. I didn't want it too pink, more worn and bleached by the sun, but I might bring out the pink a bit more.

Paul base coat was buff.

Cheers

Al
