Done a little more, she's starting to look a bit more "lived-in":D

Very nice and of course the nose art makes it that much more interesting.

RE: Another Firefly project
 

very nice work indeed gentlemen http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../thumbs_up.gif

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Looking good, just needs a battle system... :D

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Between you and YHR, these Shermans are killing me! I love the work you both put into these little tanks.

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Thanks for the comments guys:D
She's about done. Just a couple of detail bits to do.

One of the best lookin' Shermans on the Net! http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/micons/m6.gif I really like the artwork on the side of the hull ... pretty sweet! I need to do something like that for my A1E8 that I have yet to place any markings on. Since it's a "restored" tank and not one that went into combat it's the look I want too.

Soooo, I can't wait to start on my next Sherman ... err, well not really. :D

Man, now I really want the metal suspension for my Jumbo. I have the tracks but the new running gear looks so good and too scale it's killing me.

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Thanks for all the comments guys.
I've enjoyed doing this one. As some of you know the nose art is something I do to all my tanks, just to make them personal:D
I can't recommend the suspension units enough, not only do they look good and work well but also with the tracks/sprockets give the tank a hefty feel to her.
Cheers

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Looks great! 

BTW...do the duck bills come off?

RE: Another Firefly project
 

They do come off but they're actually the part that grips the pin. Without them the pins are too long and the track will fall apart.
Also the pins are a different thickness to the std Mato tracks so it would be quite a job to swap them about.

That is one aqwsome Sherman brother!

RE: Another Firefly project
 

The tank.....the crew.....the photography.....the fog.....Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Excellent composition. Well done.

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Thanks for the comments guys,
I think she's really turned out well. She gone from being just a sherman build on the back burner to becoming my favourite tank. I'm really pleased with the crew, they seem as if they belong there.:D:D

RE: Another Firefly project
 

Looks fabulous!  I am curious about the stowage - where do you get the packs/bags from?

RE: Another Firefly project
 

The packs were supplied by a guy on our UK forum, he does a great job:D

Great Sherman! It really hits the mark. That Mato hull is like a blank canvas for someof you guys, I realy enjoy these Sherman builds.
