The Tank that helped the Allies push back the Germans in World War 2. Not as strong as the German tanks, but what it lacked in power, made-up in numbers. And in the hands of a great General like Patton, it was a mighty sword.

Looking good.
One tip if I may. The upper left tail light is red all the others are dark as they are blackout lights.
I just found this out and now have repainted my two Shermans.

Thank you for that information. I'll have to go back to my kit and corrected that.

Hi Felix,I love your builds and your background.Your attention to detail is great!!!
I do have one comment,I think the finish on the tank should be more of a matt finish.A little to shiny for a tank.In the pics, there is a glare on the turret that would be a giveaway to a german tank.
Just my opinion.
Go to the Fine Scale site to see what I mean.
Thanks,George
