Well done.

The M4A4, or the Sherman with the lengthened hull. Another important version, I agree! However, a plastic M4A4 (Sherman V) kit is available to us. It is made by PSC for Warlord Games, and while it might not be of Rubicon Models excellence, it is still a pretty good plastic model kit, and so much better than any resin kit.I have two each of the two Sherman Vs (though only one finished and one under construction):
The only major version of the Sherman tank missing from the list is the M4A1 Sherman. You know, the one with the fully cast, rounded upper hull that actually went into production first.All depends on your point of view, the M4A4 is more important than the others - at least for my interests (and we all remember Pinky's opinion on the currently available options).
To me, these photos emphasise the fact that the model is a solid lump of resin. The lack of windows and an interior is very obvious in this scale.True, but it is possible that Rubicon will put the improved resin methods of the Waffentrager kit to good use and do cars that offer interiors.
... Vallejo Brown Violet (seriously weird name for a green paint!).Ah, you should try Improved Engine Green for misleading or odd colour names:
Thanks guys! Yeah, afraid the Panther is part of a Marvel-themed K47 / "weird war" army - though I have built enough to field a proper platoon of them for Chain of Command, etc. Sadly haven't seen any 1/56 FV452s so I had to make do with the Panther.
Btw - for some reason I don't seem to be able to post photos (again!).Your existing photographs appear to have disappeared.
