SPA Modeler

Over on Armorama there is a GB going on for Shermans, Shermania...
So I will be jumping in with this, an old Italeri M4A3 kit that I will be making as one of the first to see combat and participated in the Liberation of Paris in August 1944.


The real tank, that is included on the decal set



Yesterday at AMPS I kicked off the build. Based on the above photo, I replaced the kit spoked road wheels with some solid stamped ones by Dragon from my spares bin



I built the main gun first, as you can see from the above photo, I need to sand off the muzzle cap balance weight...
More to come in the near future...

Cool. Who doesn't love a Sherman. Great photo

Right?! Who doesn't love a Sherman? Besides, I haven't made a new build WWII Sherman in a good 15+ years...

I haven’t done a Sherman sinceI built the old Monogram Sherman Screamin’ Mimi kit…

You’re overdue to build one yourself…

I sorta built one!

Pretty cool.

I've never built an armor kit of any kind
