I flippin hate Shermans!

They are a rivet counters dream! Have always been a nightmare for me, no matter what you research, there will always be something left for comment. 

Anyway, I need two NZ M4A2 Sherman III  so had a route around and a reread of the excellent "Son of Sherman" book and started hacking a warlord m4a4 around!

Shortened hull, sanded front glasis and modified engine deck 



The warlord m4a3 track set will fit so I think I'm on to a winner! Next up will be the engine deck, the louvres being a particular challenge........

Comments welcome, need all the help I can get with shermans!
