well as I,m cheap,and try to save a few bills,I have made a ,scratch copy of this one,
maybe no so perfect, but I,m quite happy with it,

Really nice looking buildings, Monica

Kit is coming along well, I think. Excited to see it on the street for sure! Following Happy building!

Was there a lot of flash or mold lines?

Interesting, since the kit is from 1990, according to ScaleMates.com Of course, batches vary sometimes, I hear.

Glad to hear you didn't have any trouble.

if you hve a look at the sprue shots,you can see how clear they are ,Christian,
maybe the chap doing the review,had a bad one,

[monica]

well have both hulls,and tracks on,
started to do the,pin lining in a way,with a very dark green,its not real picking up ,what I,wont it to do,
so may,think of what else I can use to high light them a little,better,
so I,m kind of stuck,at the moment,for the making,still,trying to find out what was used,

Oh, I have not read any negative reviews on this kit, and the sprues you got definitely looked beautiful!

Scalemates.com is a database, and it has many thousands of kits, including lineage, year of release, links to reviews (often containing pictures), album functions for posting your projects, etc. I just learned about it a few weeks ago, and it is awesome :-)

Looking forward to following this larger Sherman tank. It looks really cool 1;35, as well as in 1:56

Happy building, Monica!

ta for the very nice comments so glad that your liking it,so far,
I ,have come across,Scalemates,a few times,,but have not real gone into it,for a good look,maybe some
think I,should do,

[monica]

an update on this one,
have most of the weathering done on the tank,
the reason for the sand is,that she has just,come of the beach,so still have on shaken it all off as let,
as you can see all the bit and bobs being paint to go on,
and also made a start on the crew,just blocked in the colors,

[monica]

well,have the added stowage on,
I did have a roll of thicker cotton,I use as rope,but think I can find it oh,no,
so that's on hold,till I can get ,to the shops to get more, so another holdup,

well hope your liking the look of it so far,

[Gauge1TrainsDK]

Am really liking all the stowage detail
