US M4A1 DD. The hull is from Braillestrike and I am waiting for the high bustle turret. I wanted to try out adding the screen, but it does need some tidying up. Manya fitting still to add of course, once he Greenstuff is dry

Looks like your onto a fantastic project. |

Thanks for the encouragement. There are so many pipes and struts to add. A tiller steering down to the two propellers. Most of that gear was ditched at the first opportunity. The canvas screen itself was a fire hazard. So drill out the large hatches, then of course the turret to work on! I think the screen will look better painted. |

Very nice build. It is hard not to have a love for Shermans. |

Much more work today. Too good a Sunday lunch with Mrs F and two of the three sons, but only after I had packed up |

Redid the flotation screens. The first effort was awful, much happier now;

Undercoat and bright sunshine (not bad for November 1st). If only that blooming turret would turn up (with the many tow cables ordered)

That is a labour of love. Very nice indeed Mr D. Chris |

Well I can only blame the Waterloo in 20mm project for the delay. But there was a window of opportunity to finally get this done!
