SPA Modeler

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, ....?

im liking these micro tanks!

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.

Brilliant job! I am hugely impressed.

Thank you sir!

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!
