Sorry to hear about the tracks, Steve, and that is surprising for a Tamiya kit. The tracks on that 1/48th KV-2 I did, locked right in. That was a breath of fresh air after all my Dragon fiascos last year.  |

Unusual for tamiya that, was the rear idler movable?

Looks good, Steve. I once had the same trouble with the Tamiya 1/48 T34.

Cheers chaps  Stowage and most details hand painted with Citadel and Humbrol acrylic, stickers on too. Now for weathering to lighten the overall effect of the OD.   |

Stupendous looking Sherman, stowage is always a plus on deck of the Sherman.

Thanks kindly fellas Gave it a bit of post shading to reduce the brightness of the decals then a light coat of Tamiya Matt Clear to pull it all together. Oils next. Before moving on to the running gear.  |
