Academy Sherman M4A3 105 and M1 Dozer Blade
Posted by mmc on Monday, January 5, 2009 8:16 AM

Hello all.

This is one of last years Christmas presents, thats been sitting on my bench, completed, since the summer. This was my first Academy kit and the quality was good although some of the fit was dodgy at times.

All painting was done using Tamiya and Vallejo paints along with Mig pigments.

Yes, that's the kit turret.  Academy got (rightly) questioned about the dimensions of it.  That slope near the commander's cupola is kinda weird, eh?

Thanks for the kind words guys, I was really worried about posting the pictures, the build itself was awful especially the dozer blade.

I've got a couple of figures painted up ready to add to a dio using the Sherman.

 Yes, exactly what I noticed. Possibly the kit may show up at shows and such at prices that make it a "parts kit", since the HVSS is pretty good......
