The turret tarp is some pants material with some foil folded inside to help maintain its shape, the helmet on the turret side has photo etch straps.. the fender tarp is tissue soaked in water and ELmers glue. the crate is a stock item from the spares box, I added the rope handles then tied it down with carpet thread.  A couple of left over track links were painted,, weathered and attached.

Lookin' good, P38!! So, all that is missing is the ghostly JEB Stuart!!  It's been fun following your build; quite the trip down memory lane....sure wish I knew what happened to my stash of G.I. Combat, SGT Rock, Weird War Tales, and Sergeant Fury and the Howling Commandos!!!!

2022 New Year's Resolution:  Enter 1 group build and COMPLETE a build this year!!  Why Photobucket did you rob me of my one Group Build Badge???  Must be part of the strong anti-Monogram cartel!!!

I just saw a note that DC comic book artist, Joe Kubert, just passed away on Aug 11.  He did many Haunted Tank issues along w/Sgt Rock

That is sad news.
