Testing Dropbox for image uploads. Anyway, this is the Cyberhobby M4A1(76)W or Sherman II which will be in the markings of the Pretoria Regiment, 11th SAAB in Italy. Not a bad kit but Dragon throws in sprues from multiple Sherman kits to form this beast so the parts breakdown is confusing and I will end up with a ton of spares by the time I am done. Construction has been pretty straight-forward although I did use some Mr. Surfacer for the texturing. Bronco working tracks are on the way and I will be using Star Decals for this vehicle. Just primed it tonight so OD will be following shortly. Best wishes, Ian   |

Ian looks darned fine from over here too mucker  . The sprue mix and match style is a big problem with Dragon, sometimes they work out okay, but mostly they don't  . I've had more "don'ts" than "do's" so I don't buy them anymore  . Looking forward to the colouring sir |

Small update on the South African Sherman. I added post shading which consisted of Olive Drab lightened with Chromate Yellow.   ...........and then the real curse of this project; the Bronco Working Tracks. One side is complete, minus the guide teeth. I am still dreading the other set.  Best wishes, Ian |
