      Hobbyboss M4A3 1:48

      Ok chaps I've not been posting, but that don't mean I've not been building. I built this straight from the box, which included PE light guards and great detail allround, the unfortunate thing is that in typical Hobbyboss style, the detail is good, but the fit is rather poor.

      The weathering has been good fun though.

      Not finished but getting there. Thanks for watching









      As always, comments/crit welcome.

      Looks really nice Stuart. I have never made a Sherman but this is a build that could tempt me. I do like the weathering, the dusty/mucky undercarriage looks great with the realistic looking dusting on the body to, very nice.

      Thanks Graham, I would thoroughly recommend this, the detail is superb and the fit is not a disaster! It's the first of hopefully many Shermans for me!! It's also the smallest one I've got! I have the Calliope and M4A2 USMC in the stash and the M7 HMC on the way from fleabagbay!

      Yet another wonderfull example ! Very nice too.
      Weathering looks great and the dusting is just right. All that and only 1/48. This scale is really getting some great additions. Lets hope that it becomes the industry standard across all genra of kits. be it Tank, lorry, Aircraft or what ever.

      Great build.
