    SORRY mucked up, any way can you guess what it is yet.

    All done bit of a drag in the end,dont like the mud and dust but learn by our mistakes, at some point I'd like to build again with Jakkos input there are a few easy bit and bobs one can do to improve the build not that its a bad kit , fair play to UM none of the big boys would or have been brave enough to bring it to 35th. Still here it is

            Thanks Si I like to dip my toe in elsewhere occasionally but there is something special about 1/72. Dave

              I keep thinking it’s not one of the prettier Sherman variants The model looks great, though. Almost makes me want to put it on my list of “to-build non-starter Sherman variants”

                I think they both look grand, especially in 1/72, and especially the "mud and dust".
                Never be afraid to "lay it on" so to speak, weathering wise. If you waddled about in muddy fields
                and ran up and down dusty roads you would be a bit crusty yourself!
                Oddball for sure, but I love it, do "build again".

                Happier New Year,

                Jim.

                    Looks great to me, though that turret is a bit of a strange design isn’t it! The mud and dust is spot on.

                              David,
                              That is a cracking result the finish and weathering are spot on.
