Thanks for the tip on the white background Doggs!

Here are some more pictures. The first set is with a Mig filter coat. The second is right after I added oil dot filters. I have cleaned up the yellow on the front. Again...I am not an armor guy so be gentle.
With the dot filter:
Next up...some pigments for dirt, adding the boogies, tracks, painting the lights, adding the ma deuce and then wrap it up.
Very nice dio...mine will be just a plain Jane build. I do not have the patience/skill/space to do dios. I love looking at them though.
Rob Gronovius jetmodeler: Hercmech: For those of you interested in this kit, it does have a complete radial engine, drive train and transmission, as well as a hull floor. However, when it is all buttoned up you can't see any of it. Really. Which kit is it? It's a rebox of the very ancient Esci M4A1 Sherman; an excellent kit that was the bane of Braille scale Sherman modelers for years.

It's a rebox of the very ancient Esci M4A1 Sherman; an excellent kit that was the bane of Braille scale Sherman modelers for years. There was often debate about whether the turret/hull combination was a valid one (beyond Duplex-Drive Shermans). Photographic proof eventually appeared and Sherman modelers decided that the combo did exist, but was uncommon.
In the early 1980s, the one piece vinyl tracks were replaced by one of the first link & length tracks available in 1/72 scale. Italeri added both options to the rebox.
Hercmech Thanks for the tip doog! I will try it with white next pictures

Looks good, but I would recommend that for a model this small, you ditch the bright blue background for the photos--it's really overwhelming the colors of the tank and obscuring the weathering or any shading that you might have presented.
. Try a white background, or at the very least a paler blue; you'll really get a much truer color fidelity in your photos.
Italeri make it...here is a review of it. Pretty much sums it up but I did not have the issue with the tracks that the reviewer had.

Thanks jetmodeler!
The rain streaks were really visible before I put a thin coat of OD/buff over the kit to lighten it a bit.
Looks good so far. I just barely see the rain streaks but I can see them.
Thanks ron. Glad you liked the pictures
nice so far liked the pics

Here are some shots of my little Sherman...been a while since I did a tank so be gentle. I did manage to get some rain streaking in with the airbrush but it is hard to see in the pictures. I still have to weather and decal etc.:
