I would not worry about the tracks; the actual tank used to represent Fury was an M4A2E8 which was a later diesel engined Sherman variant supplied to US allies. The Trumpeter kit is a gasoline engined M4A3E8, which is what Fury really would have been with the tracks Fury would have had.

I'll have to agree with DM, only the tracks could make an improvement. Nicely done and a good finish. Keep that stuff up!  :)

http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/applause/smileys-applause-156875.gif For 1/72 scale this is a great job.

 I don't know if they make 'em in this scale, (but in the movie version) Fury had the T84 rubber track shoes instead of the T66 steel chevron tracks. That's the only way I could see to make it any better considering this is in 1/72 scale.

Beautiful work! I was wondering how long it would be before we saw a "Fury" built up here?!

Great looking Sherman you got there !

I'm always amazed at how much detail can be put into a tiny 1/72 scale model.
