Lee Drennen’s 1/72 Italeri M4A3 75mm Sherman Tank in Winter Camo (Ardennes Project)

[Guest]

I like the winter camouflage, it looks convincingly as it would have been on a real tank.

This Thursday will mark the 77th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. This has always been my Highlight of the Wold War II. I thought I would build some 1/72 Military Models of different subjects from this year between December 16 through January 25 2022. I might even do a diorama if I get the nerve too.
This particular Sherman is a Italeri Fast built kit and very detailed for what it is. This is my second Tank I’ve painted in winter camo I’m not the best at it but I really enjoy it. I started with a darker Olive Drab than my usual go to one I was afraid with the White Wash the lighter OD would bleed through and become more of a Pea Green. All the White Wash was Handpainted by me. I’m happy the way it turned out. I’ll also be adding some Stowage and small details to it. This is as far as I got tonight.

Battle of the Bulge - 70 odd years?- my missus is seriously unhappy with you mate! Says it's only been since she met me! (Seriously, no disrespect intended - please forgive me if that's the case)

Sorry to hold you guys up on this build but I’m still waiting for the paint to get here so I can finish the tracks. Hopefully it will be here next week
