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;

Getting there. Still awaiting the turret's arrival though.

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!
