I brought this last year having watched a build of it on a well known video platform as 1) it seemed like a good idea at the time and; 2) I fancied 'a challenge' as I told Mrs K when I ordered it 😳 No pictures of the sprues - there's 14 of the buff coloured ones .... and a couple in grey that have all the parts to make the track links ..... in all over 2000 parts in the box including photoetch 😬 I made a start .... I managed to fill the ejector marks in the upper hull. I have to say this is disappointing for such a pricey kit and one that I thought was high quality ..... oh well, there's the first lesson of this build! I also managed to fit the front plate for the machine gun mount .... a bit of fettling needed here too 🙄 ..... but it's one part less! So, order your popcorn, pull up a chair and come along for the ride ..... which could be a long one! Keith 😁- 129 replies

My contribution to the GB will be RFM's very nice 1/35 Sherman M4A3E8. I have been looking for a suitable setting for this kit. I did not want to load it with sand bags and evoke the wrath of General George S. Patton. Or cover it up and hide RFM's handiwork, be it that this would make an interesting subject and the decals and resin are available. I think a concrete covered glacis plate is just plain ugly and Lee @Longbow is already doing an excellent job with the application of applique armour. I wanted a subject a little more naked. Finally, I decided on this: An "Easy 8" on the railway platform at Mühlhausen in early April 1945. An interesting subject in a simple diorama setting. The subject appears to have the two-tone olive drab/black scheme - even better. Another image: I have the figures organised for the setting. A Tamiya boxing for some of the crew figures. And on the way: PanzerArt to be modified to represent the guy hanging off the .50 cal. Alpine Miniatures for the guy at the rear of the turret: Another Alpine Miniatures again on the deck but to the side of the turret: The title is what is on everyone's mind - "Why don't they just surrender?"
