Tail-Dragon Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm really an aircraft guy, who dabbles in armor occasionally, so please don't be too harsh! This is Dragon's M4A1 (76) Sherman commanded by S/Sgt Lafayette Pool, who is widely recognized as the US tank ace of aces, credited with 12 confirmed tank kills and 258 total armored vehicle and self-propelled gun kills, over 1,000 German soldiers killed and 250 more taken as prisoners of war, accomplished in only 81 days of action from June 27 to September 19, 1944, using three different Shermans. Built more or less 'out of box' and painted with Tamiya acrylics. Thanks for looking, Colin 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That's a tasty bit of 'dabbling' in the armour area. Brilliantly built and painted, it's good all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yes, neat paintwork and subtle weathering. The stencilling looks very realistic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That's a bit "Spiffy". Liking it a lot. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Very nice, dont know why but I rather like the M4A1 76 and you've done a super job of it. Great paint job, nice work with the details (.50cal, tow cable, tracks, etc) and sympathetic weathering, no lumps of "mud" splattered everywhere. Great modelling and welcome to the world of armour!

Maddoxx77 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Great work! The paintjob is superb and the details are crisp. A very good armour model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Looks pretty damn good to me. Notably you've shown the bright wear on the roadwheel rims and outer edges of the guide horns which many people miss on M3/M4 vehicles (but you missed the idler rims!)

Autle Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Very well done especially the painting. It's difficult to make these dark colours look accurate but you've nailed it in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
