    Lee Drennen’s 1/72 Italeri M4A3 75mm Sherman Tank in Winter Camo (Ardennes Project) Completed

    On Christmas Day 1944 was a major turning point for the Battle of the Bulge. The Allies started to gain more strength as the skies cleared for Allied Planes could drop supplies and could start softening up the German line. But it still was a long Cold battle for the Allies till the end of January 1945.

    This was a fun little build and a lot of learning more on Winter Camouflaging. I hope you enjoyed it I just had to take advantage of the snow we got the other day for some pic. I probably won’t be doing a Diorama for this maybe just a small base. Thanks for following along.

        That's turned out beautifully. Looks very at home in the snow as Ron said!

        Very well done.
