Scratch building it..

If I get some time I can finish busy busy busy... :roll:

So far the rounded type sherman hull with a casted effect.

LMK how it looks
BTW it was just sprayed all black to find the seams and you can not really see the shape to great at the moment.

Your M4A1 is looking good. Your off to a very good start.

I will be building mine in about 2 weeks maybe less.

I will try to make mine fit the FOV like yours and I will make a attachment to fit the 21st with three part tranny cover.
