Twelve Birds Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Hi Guys I recently finished my „Three Shermans in the PTO“ - Caesar (Tinian, 1944), El Toro (Guam, 1944) & Davy Jones (Iwo Jima, 1945) in 1:35 scale. I used the newer Zvezda Kit (for Caesar), the older Dragon Tarawa kit (for El toro) and the Italeri USMC Sherman kit for Davy Jones. Individual tracks for Caesar plus duck bills for Davy Jones from Bronco, plus a bunch of aftermarket stuff for all three of them. Some minor scratchbuilding was done on Davy Jones. Decals via Toro Decals. They were painted with Mig's Ammo colours, weathering was done with oils (Abteilung 502) and pigments (Vallejo/AK Interactive). ...looking forward to your feedback! 25 1

Bullbasket Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 They're Shermans! What more do you need? Nice work on all three. John.
Stef N. Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Brilliant mate. I think Davy Jones nicks it for me but they're all top quality. 👏
Trevor L Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Three excellent models. What is the purpose of the spikes on Davy Jones? I'm guessing it's to stop the enemy getting on the turret.
dnl42 Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Those look excellent! I especially like it as I don't often see PTO Shermans.
