I guess this is where to post this? Found this on the shelf in a blocked closet back there in the hobby room.My brother gave me this as a gift back in 2006 or 2007,he built main battle tanks. I ran out of SPG's and since every collection needs a Sherman i'll build this one with the help of you Sherman fans so if you've got any advice let it out because I just opened the parts bags and about to start on it.

Another golden oldie . I don't know feck all either  , apart from the fact that they were built in the US and are mostly green . This could stay here or go in the WWII '39-'45 board, depends on when it going to be fighting  . |
