NICE work! The interior is right on.... funny thing, my wife loves riding in Shermans...too short to drive one though! But she won't let me buy one either yet. The models are just fine with her.

Thanks everyone once again for your kind words, sorry Tom, no dios happening here.

crazy_955 - I always spell modelling correctly and armour too! LOL

Mitchell - is it the Verlinden Dozer you have or the Resicast one?

Poniatowski - I bet if you bought it for her, she'd let you take it out for a drive.

This model and the M32 B3 are into their final stages (yes I did get off my butt and got going) and should be ready by the weekend. I'll post the completed pics then.

Mitchell

The Verlinden Dozer kit is one of my favourites by them. It is very well molded and everything goes together quite well. A couple of areas are quite delicate though and you must be careful during assembly. These are the connector points for the hydraulic armour plate. The frame work doesn't attach by very much and can be damaged quite easily. Final assembly is a bit touchy also with the majority of the weathering needing to be done before finally attaching it to the Sherman. All in all I had a great time building this beast, hope you enjy yours as much.

Thanks for the pointers! I been delaying building because I had not heard from another builder who tackled this kit. Doesnt sound as scary as I thought.
