Hi Frank

Nice tanks as always. Don't be shy, We need a shot of eye candy around here, and you always supply a good helping of that. I have to think that when someone finally decided a VVSS Sherman needs to be mass produced, the sales have rewarded them. i know the Tiger sells well, but I have to think these Shermans are running a strong second. They are everywhere, and without doubt in my shop are the largest segment of the models.

The thing I can't figure out is why they didn't make a small hatch M4. I would have bought even more!!!!!!

Cheers .

I like the camo too! I was actually just thinking about doing a camo scheme for one of the next Shermans but decided against it for now. That pic makes me wanna change that!!

That is a North Afrika camo, would not be correct for any model but an early sherman.
cammo, is in the eye of the beholder, and may not be good for a rtr marketed tank.

Yea I was looking at something like this, but as you said camo is tricky and this wouldn't have been correct IIRC.


Winter whitewash however is a very good seller surprisingly. Maybe a limited winter version...?

Maybe I should have you paint a few of my personal tanks!

Cammo was common on USMC M4A2 shermans in the pacific.
i have pondered doing a cammo, but I am going to build a few of the tanks from fury and they just had black added.

You need more pics along each build and more threads. More online time and less spent bullding tanks. ;-P
