1/35 Sherman 75mm (WIP)

Hello All,

Here is my 1st armor model in some time, Tamiya's 1/35 Sherman. I am aware of the kit's short comings and the intent was not to build the end all 100% correct Sherman. I am almost ready to paint.

I have added more texture to the turret and front transmission cover with thinned Tamiya putty. (oh and the exhaust pipes seen above)

One the errors of the kit I could not let go was the fender braces......I could not just glue the wood plank between the fenders just floating in mid air, so I added styrene brackets to hold the plank. I used tape to measure the exact distance fron the edge of the fender so both brackets would hold the plank level.

Final shot....more texture.
