Looks like your on the home stretch.

Re: My Sherman
Hi Paul.
Thanks for the positive post, I think the Sherman is almost there and then it all comes unravelled by a single internet photo.
I dont think it will ever be finnished.

Re: My Sherman
Great looking Sherman Roy, you must be very pleased with the result
I'm intrigued to know what the "single internet picture" was and why it upset everything ?
It's funny how seeing one of these Shermans in green with the silver tracks takes me back to the 70's and the original Airfix Sherman 1/72 kit, which was exactly those colours. Gawd knows how many of them I made, as well as the LCT combo kit

Re: My Sherman
Hi Adrian.
There isnt a single photo to say, just a quick click here or there and you see things you never noticed before.
Toadmans pics spring to mind.
I am very happy with the build and am half way through a 222 which now i can post pics will start to do.
Regards Roy
