Title: The beginnings of my Sherman platoon the "Warbirds"
Post by: smurfben on December 21, 2014, 03:09:09 am

Hi All,

I bought 3 of the Sherman kits recently and here's what I've done with 2 of them :) The other has been assembled with the 76mm gun but hasn't been painted yet. Enjoy!

75mm Sherman "Sally Forth" I sculpted the additional sandbags :)

105mm Sherman "Saucy Sue" I've added wooden aplique armour from plati-card.

Nice conversions. I like the names and the turret art.

Thank's very much. I know they're not that authentic but it's a bit of fun :)

The heck about realism... I love those pin ups. Well done!

A bit late but I got round to finishing off the last of the three in the end! Enjoy 'Temptation'!
