Did the spare tracks on the turret come with the kit?
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.

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!

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!

Here is the final display. These small scale tanks tend to get lost on the shelf sitting besides their big brothers, so I make bases for them.

That is a good looking and simple but yet so powerful base for the Sherman !
Like those small details on the ground / sand.
