Fujimi M4A3 Sherman 105mm
Kit overview. 10ml paint pot for reference.
Flash. Takes me back to building kits with my dad in the 70s.
Needed some scratch parts for this one.
Badly formulated track repair that hopefully won't show too much.
No turret lugs on this one, you just put the turret on the hull and put it somewhere where it won't get knocked off.
I need to start building bigger tanks.
Primed: Tamiya Fine Surface Primer L rattle can.
Decals on, slowly moving forwards.
Done

TomThis was an interesting build. A long way from my comfortable Tamiya-zone experience. The antenna and the shovel were not fit for purpose, so I took a shovel from a 1:72 Opel Blitz and stretched some sprue for the antenna. Lost a lifting hook to a parallel quantum dimension off the end of my tweezers so I used the wire from a plastic tie strip. The gun attachment behind the mantlet looked like a dog had chewed it while it was still on the runner, so I cut a segment of bamboo chopstick that was the right diameter. The tracks seemed pretty good and formed nicely to the right shape, and then one of them snapped. I managed to bore the end of the gun out without destroying the plastic and without putting a hole in my finger. Quite pleased overall. I will give it a once over with primer and then I think it will look quite good with an olive drab base coat.
