Almost the same tank.
Thank you for the answer, Terry. I got something wrong btw. The E8 was the second serios tank model. The first one was a normal M4A3.
Cheers, Clemens
SchattenSpartan That's a really nice looking Jumbo, Terry! Would you recommend this kit? My first serious armor model was Tamiya's M4A3E8 (the 3rd kit I ever built) and I loved it! Is their Jumbo similar to the Sherman I built? Cheers, Clemens

Yes it would be simular to the E8, but this kit is somewhat newer. It would be much easier to build then the Tasca offering, but not as detailed and not as accurate. It would be a great place for a beginner to sharpen their skills. Like all Tamiya kits they are well engineered and part fit is great. So yeah I would recommend it.
Thanks
Last night I moved on to the next step. On the turret using the same color that I used for the shading I highlighted certain raised details with a brush.
Next I applied another oil wash of olive green and raw umber. You can see how the wash tones down the brightness of the highlighted areas.
Here's how it looks when dry.
Next I go on to use the out of favor drybrushing to bring more details.
I will go on do the same thing to hull and after that a coat of future. Then on to more weathering.
wbill76 Have to agree with the rest, nice shading work there Terry!

Gamera Looks good! I've recently been experimenting with the same technique - does make single colour subjects like plain jane OD green 'pop'. Looking forward to seeing how you complete her.

I am kinda doing color modulation. At least my take on it.

lol!!! A kit doesn't have to be new to look good. I like overhauling a old kit.
Even though that kit is ancient, that shading sure looks appealing!
I started this Tamiya Jumbo while doing painting demonstrations for my club. I decided to go ahead finish it. I started by painting the whole thing flat black and then over spraying that with olive drab. Last night I did some shading with lighter shade of OD and then did an overall oil wash of olive green. Stay tuned for more to come.Terry Oil wash.
