I think you sell yourself short. It looks pretty darn good to me and the weld beads add to the detail.

I don't know if it's a flash, but in the last picture the yellow on the top of the turret looks glossy.

nice job on an old kit

Cool, it's a Sherman so I like her! Hope you'll be posting more work!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment.

Tigerman: Find that surprising, too. It is not really that glossy in reality. Maybe a bit more of flat clear is necessary.

Gamera: Good to hear that you like Shermans, too. I more of a Sherman fan myself although I have built a few german armor, too.

Again, thanks.

I don't think the markings look bad at all!? Good for you for not being defeated!!!

Nice job! I think tha even though this is an old kit, it's still a pretty good kit, overall!

What's with the yellow top? Never seen that before? Is that part of some particular of one theatre of war or operation?

Very well done.I gotta ask about the yellow top too!

Doog: The paint scheme was used by the Chinese 1st Tank Battalion in Burma. One of the few unique camo schemes for a sherman.

Thanks for the comments.

Cool beans, Metalblock. That's a unique model then--haven't seen one like it before!

I think the handpainted markings fit right in, good job
