The tools, straps, wheels, and 30 cal. Barrels were detail painted.





Then, the model was given a coat of Future to seal the paint and prep it for decals.

Some of my favorite Shermans are from the early Normandy campaign with the big colorful markings. A lot of those markings were painted out later in the campaign.

The kit includes decals for three well know Shermans. Since I’m not modeling one of those tanks, I decided to cut the kits decals and rearrange the registration numbers. I also rearranged the bumper codes and the large yellow codes on the turret.

A small update on this one. Sprayed the flat coat today. I’ll let it cure for a few day, I’m dying to start pin washes!

That would be like sitting a birthday cake in front of a 5 year old and telling him not to stick his finger in the iceing LOL ;D

Thanks for the coments John!!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ha ha, yeah I didn't think you'd keep it that way......now hurry up and get it filthy!! ;D

 

[Big-John]

A little progress, the pin wash is going slow because I’m doing it on a flat coat. Lots of time spent cleaning up tide marks and such.

In this photo, you can see that the center bogie has not been washed yet.
