Kris B Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 As first attempted to armour I will say you did very good job. In my opinion it is almost always worth to replace the kit MG's and main gun barrel for metal ones. But there is on small thing wrong on your Sherman, which is done by lots of modeller the same way. On the photo below you can see two "bars" painted black where the tools are located. The long crowbar is metal one, but the shorter is the handle for the pick and it should be wooden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
