Great job! Always liked the looks of the British Shermans with camo. Nice job on the rear deck storage too!

Most of the Camo netting is resin BlackDog kit, however i added some to hang over the front and
back of the turrent by using lead foil cut up.

Did you make the cammo netting yourself?  If so, can you give some pointers?

Thanks!

Looks nice.  Make sure you straighten out the upper run of tracks if possible.  Sherman tracks were kept very tight.  If you can't change it, then just some info for you in the future.

Ya every thing looks great, but you know a paint job will make or break a model. I should know I pitched a kank into the trash out of frustration before.
