Yeah, unlike everyone else who made or makes Sherman’s in 1/35 or 1/32, Tamiya neglected to add the sponson bottoms on the original tooling hulls… but it is a quick easy fix using some sheet styrene. :wink: Carlos is right, Stuart. 👍 Here's how I did that job on the Bulldog ( and thanks for your co...

On test fitting the upper and lower hulls, I've noticed a slight bit of gappage

Thanks Lyle!

Me to, I've always liked them.

Can't wait to see your Sherman build.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Gary - Lordy don't take any notes from me though, I've no idea what I'm doing. It won't be as good as your Bulldog, that much I do know.

Thanks Carlos - it does seem to be a nice kit, basic, but goes together well - kinda like the Panzer II I built years ago. You've probably built loads of them.

Thanks for the heads up on the #66 OD, I'll keep that for my Tamiya M48 then and I've ordered some #155. Much appreciated.

Just because you can never have too many builds on the bench at once (I'm taking lessons from Mike), I started this the other day - my first ever Sherman (seen here in the company of my other two current amour builds - all of which I'd like to get completed this year). https://i.postimg.cc/dQrB8rFk/...

Looking very good indeed Carlos, I do like that textured stuff, it works well.

Well done Mike!

Well it was a long time coming but well worth the wait - very nice work indeed Mike, they both look superb!
