MarkSH Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Evening all, I have been pleasantly surprised by how easy my Tamiya Sherman early production build has gone together (much easier than my previous experience with Dragon's Panzer IV) so much so that I decided to drag another Sherman out of the stash! With apologies to those already doing a M4A3E8, hopefully the Easy is as easy as the early. I had a look at the rubber band tracks supplied with the kit and found them to be somewhat less convincing than the ones that came with the early production Sherman plus they seem to have a bit of a twist to them. So I have invested in some Friulmodel T-66 white metal tracks (something I wanted to have a go at for some time). As you can see I have made a start on the lower hull assembly I hope to bring this attempt up to the same level as the Early and then do the painting side by side. Cheers, Mark. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Welcome aboard Mark, interesting choice Tamiya has made with the openings in the firewall. I wouldn't think the original had those but freely admit I don't know everything Sherman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi Mark. Great to see you have a second build underway and it's looking good already. Looking forward to following this one too. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
