Tamiya 1/35 M-51 Sherman


Recommended Posts

Right this is the first one I will be building, the Tamiya 1/35 M-51 Sherman

She will be finished as a tank from The 6 Day War of 1967

Have not built any armour for about 6 years now so it should be fun

Will be adding some PE to the kit from Eduard this is on order plus some decals I picked up on E-bay

Off to a good start, Mike :)

Wheels and tracks are always the worst part of the build, you're lucky that you have rubber tracks ;) I just finished building the Modelkasten tracks for my T-34, and that meant 72 individual track links per side with 2 pins on each side ;)

Well thanks to the four day weekend we have just had and a couple of allnighters she is now ready for paint, well primer anyway

Just a few bits added clamps to the front transmission

Dome head bolts to the front mantle

Spare antenna rods to the roof of the turret
