SPA Modeler

I don't often build armor but I got sucked in to this one because a friend bought a real one. I used the Legend resin conversion set and a Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman kit, along with Fruil T-80 tracks. Didn't take long to figure out that I was a bit under water, as they say. I had no idea Fruil's would have 5 parts per link! Anyway, as I am part german and am not allowed to leave any food on the plate, I perservered and now that it is "done" most of the sensations of pain are subsiding.

There is a build log here: http://goldeneramodel.com/mymodels/armor/m74/m74.html

The big one:


The model:

Looks pretty darn good. The hatch interiors on actual vehicles are usually OD, and on the headlight clusters, the inner light of the pairs would have a black lens for active IR night vision devices.

That is a stunning piece of work! Well done, John!

Nicely done!

Wow! That's awesome!!!

Very nice!

Your friend got himself a really big toy to play with! The model looks really good and clean.

Thanks, everyone, I appreciate the comments. Carlos, thanks, I will fix the lids, I just painted them as the example given by Legend, not having much knowledge of tanks. Need to work on the decals a little more too to blend them in better.

A bit late but I really like this John! Very cool model and excellent build.
