The box is really thick, I'll also be printing up some tank riders and maybe an Officer which will be posted on the 3D Forums for 3D printing
The size difference between the 1/16 and 1/35 scale Sherman
Lower hull being worked on and then switch to building the tracks
The Tamiya files help make this job a lot easier
462 parts later we have two completed tracks. Now to make them look like metal tracks
Paints used:
Vallejo MECHA 73.642 Black Primer used for the base color
Vallejo Model Metallic Air 71.073 Black used as dry brush as a different color from the gunmetal grey
Vallejo Metal Color 77.720 Gunmetal Grey used as dry brush over the primer
AK Track Wash AK 083 used over the whole track to give an old look and deep rust look
Ammo of Mig Light Rust Wash A.MIG-1004
added to the light rust wash: (just enough to add deposits)
AK Track Rust AK085 Pigment
Vallejo 73.123 Dark Steel Pigment
Vallejo 73.118 New Rust Pigment
This was applied as the final coat over the whole tracks

The Sherman is on hold till we move and it's all packed up. I'm going to finish the Jeep before we move which there'll be a post for that after completion
Been thinking about getting this kit for awhile. We're there any issues in its assembly? I have the 1/16th Stug in my stash.
Would love to see them make a 1/16th M18 Hellcat, M4 Sherman (Early), M4A1 (75mm), M3 Lee and Grant, M3 A1 U.S. Halftrack.
Now he has an M10 Achilles and Wolverine.
Lots of German armor and soft skins.
The 1/16th scale is expanding.

@harold-adams it's a great kit and I stopped building it and started on the 1/16 scale Jeep. I almost got it done before we packed up and moved. Now I'm just waiting to get the new ((BIGGER)) hobby room done.
All in all I'd say you'd enjoy the kit
