Ron Bell Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 This is the Heller D-Day Sherman kit, which comes with the deep wading trunks. It's an excellent kit in and of itself and has many options such as different pattern road wheels, drive sprockets, transmission covers, etc. I chose to do a later production M-4 and I used the two hatch turret from the Italeri kit, which fit perfectly. I cut down the wading trunks as most pictures I have seen of British Shermans do not have the ones with the curved tops. The only other addition I made was the hull machine gun and main gun waterproof tarps and the stowage on the back deck. The seaweed is tissue soaked in white glue. I coated the bottom of the tank with Johnson's Kleer to make it look wet from just wading in and also put some on the shingle to simulate a 'water line'. The figures are the weakest part. I just can't master making these little guys look good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stikpusher Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Looks real good. Is the green stuff on the suspension supposed to be seaweed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 I love it! You captured this well. I think your figure is quite passable. By the way. what scale is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I called in a specialist and had the seaweed removed. Looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
