This is an Italeri M4a1 76w built OOB except for corrections to barrel and pistol port. Still work in progress and bits are missing (Argh!) but piecing it together slowly with help from good friends.

This model is being used for a winter diorama and the effect I was trying to achieve was of a whitewashed sherman that had seen a fair bit of time in the foul weather.

Thanks for looking
Jon

oh and yeah - the sandshields are coming off

Hey BigJon,
I have a couple of "nit picks" for you.
I not totally sure but I believe you'll need to adjust the gun crutch a bit as the mounting points at the end of the crutch arms shoud be mounted a bit deeper in the sockets on the hull front and not sitting on top of them.
And if you don't want an early production M4A1 76mm Sherman, you may want to swap the road wheels for some pressed or stamped wheels.
Most photos that I've seen of late war M4A1's didn't have the early spoked wheels.
Mind you, you did say your building it OOTB.
Anyway, It looks good, I like the "beat up" winter camo and the job you did cleaning up the pistol/shell port and barrel.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Cheers
