robw_uk Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Progress. So far so good. Side applique armour needs to be adjusted so have taken it off.... Enjoying the build but the suspension has me a tad worried....  IMG_20170721_174330 by Robert Worth, on Flickr  IMG_20170722_170255 by Robert Worth, on Flickr  IMG_20170722_174341 by Robert Worth, on Flickr  IMG_20170722_170305 by Robert Worth, on Flickr  IMG_20170722_174354 by Robert Worth, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceG Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Suspension isn't too bad to do, but do it one unit at a time. Big piles of bits just makes it confusing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris B Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Asuka suspension is little complicate, but this is the best Shermans on the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi Rob. Definitely interested to see this one in progress. I've got one in the stash so I'm going to bookmark your thread. Looking good so far. Kind regards, Stix  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Rob, Looking good. Not you, the Sherman!  Well, as good as an ugly Sherman can be said to be looking good anyway. I prefer the look of the Shermans with the flat upper hulls and all the angles.  I also will bookmark.  Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nice progress Rob, are you depicting it as a British or a US tank? I normally find the running gear a bit of a chore, but for some reason I like how the Tasca bogies build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
