Beautiful work! First time I have seen anyone model the air recognition panels on a WW2 US tank. Kudos!

They look good.  Did you make the sand baggy things yourself?

Yes that is Milliput rolled out like a snake slightly flattend along the top with water and your figure the individually sliced to length and placed on , they tend to naturally `shape in`then just get a bit of metal mesh and gently inprint the cross hatch effect

Beautiful paintjobs, and the attention to details with the kit and stowage is fantastic,  really elevates them.

No crew for the M10s?

Lovely. Is the wash acrylic or oil based? It has the lustre of oil.

Nice to see someone else using 1/48 tanks!

1) Which rules do you favour for getting several tanks on the board in this scale?

and..

2) Please let us know (and show us) how you do the crew for the M10s, I've long contemplated it but it has seemed too hard!

All the best
