I have finally finished my lads RC Sherman, so it was out for a spin, unfortunately my battery died so my Tiger was a sitting duck :sad:


A cautious Sherman spies the Tiger...

It closes in gun ready to blast the Tiger...

The Tiger appears abandoned but a search of the area is required...

And finally some better shots showing the new grille work, scratches and cabelling for the lights and smoke launchers, some decals instead of the kill rings-something a bit different.

Excellent work on both of these Si:smiling3:.


I like the way the newer Sherman is less weathered than the older tiger.


Top Notch for me.

Cheers Ralph, the Sherman is nice and clean cos laddo doesn't like extreme weathering :sad:


But, saying that 90% of wartime Sherman's that I have seen don't look battered.

Ta mate.


The outcome in this case is Sherman 1 Tiger 0, my battery was dead so I couldn't even turn the turret.


Glad you think they look okay.

Thanks Moni, I enjoyed doing the Tiger, I actually saw a picture of one and that looked similar with some light rust and very scuffed-unfortunately it was also knocked out with a great big hole through it.
