Kingsman Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Apologies for bringing these up at this stage but I haven't looked in for a while. Easy 8's don't really interest me because of their very limited combat use in WW2. But there are a few little problems, all correctable at this stage before final paint. Your commander's vane sight is back to front: taller end to the front. The commander's hatch handle wouldn't protrude beyond the hatch rim like that. It moved entirely within the hatch diameter. The blanket rack is mounted too far out. The front portion of the top brackets up to the hinge line should be on top of the upper rear hull so that the upright part of the rack is roughly parallel with the rear hull angle. Picture courtesy of Sherman Minutia. You can get away with the greener 1944 shade of OD No9 on this one as it is a very late configuration. That probably didn't reach theatres until 1945. Most Shermans in WW2 would have been the earlier browner shade and you can only really use the later shade on HVSS tanks, whose production did not begin until Sept 44.

For me it's too late to make corrections in this stage. I have just laid another paint coat. In the future I'm going to build another sherman easy eight with interior. So I'm able to make some minor corrections (handle, blanket rack, etc.) Commander's vane sight is in correct position. Please check this foto. Taller part is on the back.
