Great stuff folks. Thanks for the excellent comments. The last couple of posts did make me chuckle!
I know various 'Add - on' armour was used on Allied tanks in Europe, including applique, so this will do. As for the Sherman itself, I'm not worried if it's the wrong variant for the period and I'm certainly not investing any beer tokens just to get the right tank......so what you see is what you get, M'Lord.
Any road up, I have cunning plans for it, also I just build for fun anyway.
Right, here's the hardware. Ready made, salvaged and tarted up from my 'Iwo Jima' dio.
Italeri Sherman. Brush painted and weathered with acrylics. Scratch made sandbags and coffee stirrer applique armour. The mud will hide the busted track link. Antenna to follow!
I hope you approve.
Cheers all,
Ron
