Wdedig Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This is my only armor model in the last 10 years. I am an aircraft guy. D-Day has me venturing. I have found at least 5 different Versions of Sherman's on D-Day so M4A3 was recommended by the Resin makers of the Vents and so that is what I used. This is a Hobbyboss 1/48th Sherman. I used thinned Milliput for the tarps and Gunze Olive drab as I liked the shade(another thing that has 5 or more different shades) Mostly out of box except for the vents from Black Dog, added applique armor to sides ,tarps, Stretched sprue antenna, and wires added for quick release of the vents. Not glass was in kit so a bit of spare clear was added for view in upper turret. Tarps were a big pain in the A!@#$%^SS. Markings were spare decals and Painted Stars Thanks for technical help from fellow Pittsburgh modelers John Bonanni , John Szczypinski and John Russell Final D-Day project until "Group Build" on this Site Comments welcome Thanks for Looking Cheers Bill 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Lovely job for 1/48th. There's definitely a 'wingy thing' feel about paint finish. I half expect it to sprout wings! Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Thanks Guys I figured this Tank would have just left the water on its way off the beach so weathering might not be "Tankish". My concepts on finish Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
