Yet another Iwo Jima Sherman "just a bit more"

[AgentG]

This one though, is 1/72 scale.









Base coated in MM Acryl Olive Drab.







This is the Trumpeter kit with a bunch of scratch built details. I really liked the kit with the exception of the vinyl tracks which are supposed to be gluable. They are not. I had to melt them together like Tamiya rubberbands of old.

This should be good to watch...

What did you use for the sandbags? Aves, Milliput, ....?

[CallSignOWL]

im liking these micro tanks!

[AgentG]

Thank you all!
The sandbags are DAS air dry clay. I rolled it out thin, flattened it, then cut off each individual bag. When I was happy with it, I brushed thinned out white glue on and around them.

Here's a little bit more. Almost there now.









Camo is hand painted in MM Acryl colors. I hand lettered the name in Vallejo acrylic. This was a real tank in "B" Co, 4th Tank Battalion.

Well, that´s interesting. Aside from a great job in this too small scale (for me...) I never before have seen a Sherman in more than one colour.
Did the spare tracks on the turret come with the kit?

Nice work ! And those sandbags look indeed very good!
