BJ I know what you mean fella the kit is stunning just closing up the hull now and adding some texturing and weld beads I can definitely say I will be building another Tasca kit in the future thanks for your comment

Biskup yes I know the fury is very popular at the moment but who cares it's fun right that's the whole reason we all model give it a year and fury will be unheard of lol

The Chaos just how we like it lol

[Biskup]

Dan exactly. I'm not a big fan of the movie as at moments it was more S-F than war movie. But I'm waiting and hoping that someone will make and pull of the last shoot of the tank. From above with all the bodies, shells and damage all around

Non the less I’m watching your build as I have a small 72 scale Sherman to make myself

Looking good!

 

[danb]

Thankyou for all the positive comments much appreciated

Update no2

Upper and lower hull joined i added welds to cover the joining seams this was created by using some stretched sprue once this had dried i moved onto texturing up the hull
