M4A1 (76) SHERMAN

[MrT]

Ok this Sherman is wrapping up one the last things to be added to the basic tank is the "MaDuce". I spruced up the kit 50 cal. with some wire and parts from the Mk1 Designs PE set.







Here's what she looks like after painting.









The basic tank is pretty much complete. Here are some images before I begin to add the stowage and the commander figure.









Next up the stowage. Comments and questions are always welcome!

For those of you who have been following along.

I was reminded yesterday that my "Deuce" didn't have the trigger so........



Last night I began to gather up some stowage for the Sherman and did some test fitting.







I think I have found the figure I'm gonna use. A rather irrate TC who is yelling and pointing his finger as if to say "GET OFF THE ROAD!" . Add some goggels, radio equipment and "BAM" there's your TC.



Thanks for following along and comments are welcome.

Ok let's get caught up.....

After several stowage arrangment sessions things began to fall in place.





Next I added a little paint.





After adding a few more stowage items the Sherman is all packed up.













Next on the agenda is the commander figure. I started with a Tamiya figure added some Dragon parts and some Apoxey Sculpt to make some coveralls and that is how things stand as of now.











Comments are welcome!

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread---what an awesome, tour-de-force of detailing on this baby! I can honestly say tha this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone converting an Israeli tank back to American! Cool beans!

The figure, the tank, the stowage, the paint and details---all just superb, man!
