I said it before and I still mean it. I love the looks of this Shermie-- I must critique one small thing: How does the commander see out of his view ports on the cupola?

Great build Andy, white wash and 99.9 % of the details are top drawer

Very cool Andy! Have you ever done a British Sherman before?

Andy - Another museum class build. Mastering the "old" brush skill is a true art.

I'm not a Sherman fan (sorry Tread) but I am a great build fan. Very nice work.

Andy,

This is spot on awesome! Your painting and weathering skills are just top drawer Sir!
