This is another one of my builds from a few years ago, but for me, it was a bit different in so far as it was built Out of the Box........well almost. It's Tasca's Sherman ll, and it was a fairly recent release when I got hold of it. It's a great kit and even though I built it OOTB, if I was to do it again, I would use etched brass for things such as the headlamp brush guards, as although they are thinner than other manufacturers efforts, they are still a bit on the thick side.
If memory serves me right, the decals are the ones in the kit and are for a tank of the 9th Lancers at El Alamein in 1942. The figure is from the kit I believe, with one of the excellent Hornet heads. I originally painted his side cap red, but it was pointed out to me by somebody in the know that it should be khaki.
I hope you like it.
John.
