Contrary to popular belief, MANY Shermans wore camo paint schemes. From their introduction to combat in 1942 thru their service in Korea a decade later.Thomas_M wrote: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?

Re: Yet another Iwo Jima Sherman "just a bit more"
Carlos is right. I have at least four Sherman in my 1/72 scale collection with camouflage patterns on them.
Looking good once again. I'm surprised that your tracks did not glue together. Then again, I use the old red/orange-tubed Testor's glue to glue mine and they stick extremely well.
Looking forward to seeing more; your camouflage pattern is extremely well done!

Re: Yet another Iwo Jima Sherman "just a bit more"
Thank you all!
Thomas-The tracks on the turret were made by me one piece at a time. In fact, all the track links and various add ons were scratchbuilt.
That's the fun part of modelling Shermans, no two are ever alike!

That is a good looking and simple but yet so powerful base for the Sherman !
