gamevender Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 This is the Heller D-Day Sherman kit, which comes with the deep wading trunks. It's an excellent kit in and of itself and has many options such as different pattern road wheels, drive sprockets, transmission covers, etc. I chose to do a later production M-4 and I used the two hatch turret from the Italeri kit, which fit perfectly. I cut down the wading trunks as most pictures I have seen of British Shermans do not have the ones with the curved tops. The only other addition I made was the hull machine gun and main gun waterproof tarps and the stowage on the back deck. The seaweed is tissue soaked in white glue. I coated the bottom of the tank with Johnson's Kleer to make it look wet from just wading in and also put some on the shingle to simulate a 'water line'. The figures are the weakest part. I just can't master making these little guys look good. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamevender Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 The "seaweed" has been removed due to bad reviews and the fact that it look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
