I wonder if I can use my gaahleri airbrush with this? This one is old school cleaning!

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
I got a small pay so I ordered some decals I needed to finish my USS Albany, and picked up a couple extra models that were on deep sale:
This has two ships in here, one to make the Z-37 and the other the Z-39:
I've been wanting a Sherman with a dozer blade forever, and now I finally have one:
Time to get back to the bench, I have another tour to start.....

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Trying to restrain myself from buying kits and stick to my rule: build 3 buy 1... but I've been wanting this one and couldn't pass up on the price
Thanks,

Have the same kit. Botched up the first one I forget how. I have never seen a Sherman with a plow on it. I’ve seen wartime tractor with plows but never a Sherman. I’d love to see that one built up.

A few were assigned to each tank battalion. There were never enough to go around in the hedgerow fighting, and that led to the creation of the Rhino prongs

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
There are three builds I know of on SPAM for that kit. One was a freebie when we could get samples, Handiabled built it, I think. Great job.
The other was one I built, not so great.
Cherry lock did one, too.
Can’t find the first rwo.
Tom, is that the kit I sent you? Build I’d young man.
