Airfix Sherman Calliope +++ Completed +++

Hi all,

 

I've left it rather late to take part, partly because I wasn't sure what to build.

 

Decided on yet another iteration of Airfix's ancient 1/76 Sherman tank, I've already built the basic and Crab versions so thought it was time to try the Calliope version.

And we're off - It'll be the 12 hour 41 minute option that I'll be going for.

And with the rocket launcher provided on another sprue....

Construction completed, please note that the location that Airfix have indicated in the instructions to drill the holes in the side of the turret are wrong! Follow the painting instructions for the correct location for the rocket apparatus holes.
