Despite having a complete upheaval in my hobby room, rendering it impossible to work in; I did manage to finish one model. And this is a 'historical' event as well, in a manner of speaking. I've built at least ten UM Model kits; and started six UM Models Sherman kits. Until now, none of those Sherman kits were able to be finished. This is the first UM Models Sherman kit that I have ever finished. Granted, there's a lot wrong with it that I could not get past, but I am simply thrilled that I actually finished it! Here is my 1/72 scale UM Models M4A1 Sherman with M17 rockets: This was weathered with Tamiya weathering powders, and the rocket launcher on top does elevate: Some more shots from different angles, as always: That's all for now. I do hope to finish a number of motor torpedo boats that are just thaaaaat close to being done. Stay tuned, and thank you for checking in to see this.

Thank you guys! I am so thrilled to have finished this. First UM Models Sherman ever! I agree, that must have been highly frightening downrange!

That's a lot of plumbing. Looks good Duke.

Thank you JKB!! It was interesting building up that launcher assembly with all those tubes. I had to glue them all on individually as they all were molded as single pieces.

Excellent looking model, Duke! I bet those were so loud heading downrange.
