I also love 1/72 scale Armor wallig. My collection right now numbers 376 Armor pieces built with another four in various stages of completion on my workbench. I have pretty big fingers too, but I love building this scale. I'm able to display 6 to 8 pieces in the same space as a 1/35 scale heavy tank! :-) Besides, I have 226 aircraft in 1/72 scale, so I like to keep it all consistent. ;-)
I have about six Shermans, one of which is the Sherman "Calliope". Almost all of them were done by Italeri, but they look pretty close to accurate for the most part except for a few version-specific details here and there. They at least have good detail molded in their parts. I had built all of them about 18 years to 22 years ago; I haven't dome anything recent though. I do have a Revell-Germany kit of a Shreman I'm going to build with Russian Markings to show a Lend Lease tank.
