Tamiya M4A3 Sherman 105mm Howitzer

Markus Antonius
i like the colour aproach... is it a nice kit, btw.? did a jumbo back in '93 and was happy with it, back then...

Pedro Negron
Its incredible kit, need a lot of upgrades and changes to put it on track, or you can built it out of bux for the fun. A quick weekend built.

Great kit for a novice too.

i am very curious on the way you paint your model... could you add some descriptions to the photos please.. i would very much apreciate it! i would like to use this method of preshading on my next tank model 🙂

Woah, I've never seen preshading done like this before, makes me want to try it out.

its time consuming, but in the end you have a very detailed kit.

The good old Sherman...one of my favourite tanks (if not my only favourite 🙂

holy sh..... this is a beauty of a Sherman. lots of work, but absolutely stunning quality. thanks a million for the detailed explanation. that colour modulation is something i have to try!

Moritz Fentzahn
Top result. 👍 thanks for sharing

Pedro Negron
Color Modulation its one way to achieve this, but you can also get a similar result in the classic way. The key its the fading in the colors with the oils and the filters, in this case I used Burnt Umber and Sand from Model Colors.
