Dads203 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 More weathering up of the lower hull, after this will be some mud splatters. Track guards get some, these will get fitter after I get the tracks weathered up. Some spent brass from the 0.50, link yet to be added.

Presumably the M10 would be laid up in ambush behind a hedgerow or farm building in rural Normandy ? I think I've run out of superlatives though Dan .......

Unfortunately, it was often the other way round. The allies were attacking a skilled and determined defence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Thank you all for the great feedback on the build so far, needless to say that i'm pretty chuffed with the build so far Some little details going on now and the last few parts, Headlight lens need fitting, tow cable and the track guards, before I do those bits I'm going to add the link from the .50. Using the Live Resin set just to add a few. More later 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echen Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 10 hours ago, Richard E said: farm building in rural Normandy ? I read an account of a Sherman backing up behind a farm building in Holland after a near miss from an 88. The second 88 came through several walls of the farmhouse and knocked the Sherman out. Fortunately it hit low down on the rear hull side and everyone got out. Can't recall where I read it now, or the exact details but this is the gist of it. Probably the moral of the story is "avoid 88s". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 And the link in place, just a taster to show that the gun has been fired, most of the empty cases would of rolled off the area so i'll pop a few cases in the rear engine decks later. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 One more detail to add ... The "Combat Bucket " No self respecting crew should ever be without one! From Plus Model and all soldered up, this will hang off the back. Just had a soak in white vinegar to remove the flux. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a plan for a 1/72 bucket but haven't made one yet. Like you say, every crew should have one. At least they're easily added as an extra to finished AFVs if ever I get around to making one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
