This is tamiya's 1/35 M51 super Sherman, this is a kit I have been looking for for a long while. It is built out of the box with no added extras using Tamiya paints XF20 50% and xf57 50% to get the colour scheme. I hope you like it and as usual any and all comments are most welcome good or bad.

Thats a cracker scott. The wheels and tracks have come out very well and overall a great paint job.

two things stick in my eye a bit, but I know you are man enough to take it...

those spare wheels are a bit clean and the wooden handles on the tools could be brand new. I would of thought that in the hot sun of the middle east, they would of been bleached a bit more.

Nether the less a great job and one to be very proud of. I would be.

Hi Scott!

I will try to explain....

With your two last tanks, well...seems you have do a modelling change!! Maybe it's my sensation...but seems you play, now, more with the preshade, the lights and dry brush.

Or maybe I'm wrong...

But there's a thing don't change mate, and this is your quality builds!

Very, very nice one. Personally I see it very' solid', have a particular look! Love it.
