Cheers Guys,

 

Slow again today on the progress chart but I have managed to start the main fighting compartment weathering.

Lots more to do yet with some dust and mud to be added. 

 

P1080890

 

P1080893

 

P1080888

 

 

Stowed rounds getting a blast of NATO black, were there any markings on the canisters?  

 

P1080892

 

Lastly, any of you fine gents used this before? 

 

P1080894

 

Thought it might be useful ?

Can't help with any of your questions Dan but that fighting compartment looks wicked. Also the Nato Black looks an interesting colour, I can think of a few uses for that shade must order some 🙂👍

Yes they did but nothing you need to worry about as it was usually on the lid of the tube..and stated round type, lot number and fuze type and was normally in white stencil the rest of the tube was black ...sometimes very dark olive and even on occasion natural cardboard colour.

Cheers chaps, once again slow progress on the modelling front. 

 

A bit more painting done to the areas in the fighting compartment. the spare round canisters

are well underway.  Securing straps will get painted up yet and a jet black oil wash added to the canisters, should make the recesses 

sharper. Paints used so far are NATO black for the base colour and then NATO black with white added to modulate the canisters.

I used some pure matt black for the scratches on one of them so far. The other will get done later. 

Vallejo Panzer Aces Stencil (Off White) used to pick out the bottom clamps and the bulkhead between the two sets of rounds, these will get some chipping 

yet.

Cheers for looking in 🙂

Slow progress gain this week I'm afraid chaps :o

 

Had a few issues over the weekend that ruined my bench time so hopefully I'll grab a bit more this week. Bloody ticker playing up again :frantic:

Stowed ammo now in place and more weathering happening, turret ring is now painted Tamiya Lacquer silver and had some Nuln Oil treatment.

Enjoy

Sorry to hear you've not been to well lately, hope you're back to full fitness soon.

M10 coming together now soon have the turret fitted and on to the next project.

 

  Stay safe        Roger

Nooooo once completed they must be returned to sender that's the deal 😉 👍. Actually I had considered purchasing after market tracks however having Laurel and Hardy watching my every move I'd never live it down so hours of pain and suffering await me i suppose 🙄

A quick question to throw out to those in know;)

 

Turret fire extinguisher - colour ? OD or red ? My googlefoo has turned up nothing that I pin it on 

Same extinguisher is used by the USAAF on the B17's and they are red, the one picture I found for an AFV extinguisher was OD green ? 

Confused ... Just a bit

These are the tracks you want to build for the Sherman if you want to feel real pain Andy, None of that Meng stuff and they come with Duckbills !!

P1080699

 

P1080700

On completion you get a nice Cert from the University of Crazy stating that you are officially  "Radio Rental " and that they are looking forward to you starting 

the next widow licking course. :frantic: 

 

I only have these to complete to get my Cert, Ignore the Type 60, I couldn't be bothered moving it.

It's the attention to detail in the minutiae that really sets this apart Dan, lovely jubbly!
