Started this M4A3E8 Sherman from Tamiya. The lower hull is built and primed with Tamiya Nato Black. Let the painting begin.
It looks like such a nice kit. It's highly reviewed. Are you making any adjustments to the kit parts, or are you adding any aftermarket stuff?

She's lookin' good so far!

Yes I will be adding some things to the kit. The kit so far is typical Tamiya fit and is going together very well.
Gamera She's lookin' good so far!
Thanks!

T26E4Nice work. Remember to omit part K41 Engine Crank. That part does not belong with this version of Sherman -- an oft-repeated Tamiya mistake on all its M4A3s for some reason.
Thanks Roy!
Oh yes....
Of course I'm gonn'a be watching.
This is going to be grand I'm sure.

Yeah, it's a brilliant kit. I'm following with interest.
Cheers
Thanks guys!
Done some painting and shading. Put on a wash and some dry brushing.
That shading looks quite good.
ridleusmc That shading looks quite good.
Thanks! This is really just some first steps. There will be some pin washes and track painting to come.
Yeah, the shading looks great. The bolt-heads really 'pop' on the wheels, they'll look even better when you hit 'em with the pin-wash.
Looking great. Thanks for posting pics that open large too.

Have had the great fortune to be on every side of the howitzers.
That is some really nice work on that suspension.
The M4A3E8 has tracks now. I painted them with Tamiya Dark Iron and dry brushed with a little silver. Also added a pin wash to the running gear.
Excellent detailing!

Thank you!
I have added a dark brown pigment wash to the tracks of my Sherman.
I really like that, nice ground-in dirt look to the tracks.
Gamera I really like that, nice ground-in dirt look to the tracks.
I like to be subtle with weathering adding a little at a time. I don't like to choke the model with to much. There will be more as time goes by.
Added another pigment wash for the tracks and black oil wash to the tires. Now it's time to move on to the upper hull.
You've got a couple extra steps in there that I think I will be adding to my repertoire for the T-90. I REALLY like the way that looks!

Thanks! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I sometimes don't explain what I'm doing very well.

I understand that far too well. I also somtimes don't articulate my thoughts very well.
Looking really good. Lots for me to learn here....
This is a fun thread! A course in how to build armour. I love it!
Looks amazing. Just finishing building this kit myself, yours looks much better :)
