Awesome! Are those 1/48th scale Tamiya Shermans?

Thanks guys!

These are 1/60th Westwind models. But beware! The casting quality is very poor. Lots of bubbles and flash, and I had to spend a lot of time cutting, filing and placing stowage in strategic places to hide the defective casting!

On the plus side, the tanks each come with a cool commander figure. But on one of the tanks, I replaced the commander with a BAM figure. I think you can tell which one.

Cheers!

Well in spite of the casting problems you mentioned, an awesome job they look the business.

Hi Dom,

Great work on the Shermans. What plans do you have for these?

Best Wishes.

@Helen - this is the platoon that links up with Easy company at Nuenen. When warned about a Tiger up ahead, the commander says "Well, if I caun't see them, I caun't bloody well shoot them, can I?"

Amazing stuff. I really like the material on the middle barrel. Treads, commanders, highlights. All of them look awesome!

Thanks Dom, sounds great what you are looking at

Best Wishes.

At Crisis Dom said he was unsure about painting armour

. I think you did a fantastic job mate, well done.

Beautiful stuff

Thanks again!

@Paul - As I said at Crisis, I'm waiting for some lovely BAM castings!

@Severus - The material on the Firefly barrel is just tissue paper reinforced with PVA. It's there to hide a very deep and ugly casting line which I couldn't remove!
