Good to see this one on the roll again, nice work!

That last colour photo, I'm sure I saw the exact same shot on a doco here in Australia a few nights ago, New Britain invasion, the armour got stuck in the soft boggy terrain and the marines had to go it alone without them.

Nice find.

Thanks Phil
 
Started PE tonight. :pinch: ended up scratching most of it out of strip brass. I did use On The Mark headlight guards, straps, buckles and tie-downs. (Surprised I'm not blind yet) I also used Tamiya tools as they were a bit better the Dragon ones. Using the PE straps on the tools is a long process for me.

Looking good man. :good: I don't use PE for tools hardly anymore. I get the resin Sherman tank tools from TMD.
 
Another update

I called assembly done, took me longer than I thought it would. Some shots before paint.

I'll share the paint adventure soon :good:
 
Think I'd rather do a Lee myself, Sherman name still shakes up thing down around these parts...

Looks great Jeff (y)
