Tamiya M51

sweet. i have this in the arab-israeli stash along with a pair of CYBERHOBBY M-50s along with 2 shelves for this particular stash.

It's a fun build, and I spent less time on the onerous stuff, like suspension. I'm about to tackle Dragon's HVSS for my M50 build, and I'm less than anxious.

Nice final outcome on this one,I had followed your blogs on this one and it is outstanding

Many thanks. Had I not had to do a re-paint, it would havebeen one of my quickest builds, easily.

Love it!!

looks great

Thanks, Jester, and CSO.

I did notice I don't have the antenna mounted......  oops.

COOL! This is one mean-looking Sherman for sure!

What color did you use for the base coat?

Thanks, doog. Tamiya calls for their own TS46 rattle can color, and I liked it.

Sweet looking build. I like the colour.

Thanks, Bish. I can see several of these in my future.....

Is that the crystal ball or the stash telling you that.

Crystal ball at the moment, got some stash thinning to do first. I'll be doing some quick assessments soon to make room. I can see both early and late M4A3E8s, an Israeli M4A1E8 posed in Jerusalem, a very late M50 (although the one I'm doing now is pretty late production) and a very late M51 since Dragon's -E8 bogies give me hives.

That's enough for the next several years, and I've got a few more builds in the lineup as well, maybe enough for a lifetime......
