Just do it. If in doubt grab a few cold ones 🍺 or a glass of whiskey 🥃 and post the kit. 😁

As I still have a few Shermans left over I might as well use one for this...

Thought it was funny, a US tank, very likely to have been used by the US to beat the Germans in WW2, being sold to descendents of Nazi victims, ending up in a movie to help the Germans to defeat the US in WW2 ...

Great idea, Bert! I totally forgot they used Super Shermans in this movie. This build will bring back some memories of that film. I always thought the scene at the end with Lee Marvin and the child was very powerful.

Nice choice.
Going with the irony of IDF tanks being used as German vehicles, it's like the IDF using Avia S199s which were Czech built bf109s using leftover parts from the war.

Thanks all! And the good thing of building another M51 is after a while you have a solid glue holder while you start on the upper hull..
