M51 super Sherman build

Thoughts on it

How about "ooooh" and "aaaah"?
The red details really sharp.
Weathering well done, just enough!
And the casting marks, I get it now. Have never done that. Very cool.

Thoughts on it?

If there's one thing I would improve on it, it's the guards around the lights and the horn. Academy has apparently moulded those as if they're made from square rod, when on the real thing they were flat strip:



Unfortunately, this means that your model looks like it's 1:72 scale rather than 1:35 in the area of the head- and taillights But it's a little late now to fix that, I suppose If I had noticed earlier I would have mentioned it, those guards are not very hard to make from metal strip (though the horn guard is tricky with that cross in the middle) and would really improve the look of the model.

Good job, I like how the weathering came out.
