Hi this is just to fill in between builds.




I've added some small upgrades as you can see.



Change the wheels for real sherman ones just required a bit little fettling.





HI Guy yes these are great fun to build :thumb2:

Thanks for stopping by.
Pete.

Hi Pete - I know accuracy isn't really high on the agenda with these things but aren't the exhausts on upside down :thinking:

He’s probably waiting for the replacement idler wheels :smiling3:

BTW, Pete, mind if I ask why you put a piece of extra armour plate on the left side? Real Shermans only had one plate on the left and two on the right.

Hi Jakko the replacement idler wheels are fot the Firefly, as for the extra piece of armour on the L/H side I do know but thank you anyway. It was down to sheer laziness of filling 4 x holes I just covered it with white card :flushed: as you can see I have remedied the the extra piece of armour.

It should of had $ x lifting ring as the instructions show.


All good now.

Pete.
