I have finally completed the build of my “First in Bastogne” Sherman jumbo from Tasca. It features a lot of extras from several different companies. Next up: Primer!

Just won these babies on Ebay. They will be a real treat to detail and weather. Western Pacific used these old F units from the 1950’s all the way to Western Pacifics end in 1982. So I can really go all the way with the weathering and make them stand out really well.
This is my Guam Sherman M4A2 that I finished a couple of weeks ago. It’s the Dragon Tarawa M4A2 kit with wading stacks from Tank-Workshop and hand crafted stowage. The wading stacks were not prototypical so I had to modify them to match the real prototype. To be correct the wading stacks were welded flush on the hull instead of being separated from the tank.
The idea with this model was to try and heavily layer different oils to create variation in the base color. I believe that not much of show through the weathering dough but I will definitely try and take it even further next time.
A quick update on the painting progress.
The construction phase is now complete. A lot of work went in to the wading stacks.
