Nice Model... good choice 😁👍

The reinforcement is good 💡 idea , even without the warping......it's not a bad thing to do as joints less likely to open up during build.

Looking very good so far Kesa.

Nice work. Don't forget that any loose oil drums or boxes would probably fall off when a real tank moves, so they would most like be strapped down.

I would add straps but i dont have any polystyrene nor the precision to paint them. And on this Sherman in particular it's in place, sniping tigers and any other IFVs so i can imagine it wont be moving much. Though maybe ill try painting straps on the oil drum later.

you can take the the metal that covers wine bottles (tin?), cut it with scissors, and paint it in any color. or even paint it and then cut in thin stripes. serves really good for this kind of applications. it is possible to buy that kind of material. but if there is any bottle of wine being open at home, you have it for free.... another material that can be used is thin aluminium. Nesquick used to have a thin layer alumium under the lid of their cans for example. pretty useful stuff
a can of cola or similar drinks can be also cut with any scissors, but is is stronger than the other two i mentioned, so it may not be the best for those stripes. but you have some waiting to be used at home for sure. just be careful with your fingers, this stuff can be quite sharp 😉

If you have any masking tape in works well as straps if you cut narrow strips.

Spanjaard
true, i was going to mention that too, but it seems i forgot at the end.

Kesa Tiho

Crisp and careful work, very realistic paintwork and weathering. Top!

I like amongst other things the almost bare engine bay.
The poor soldier looks quite dejected.

Thank you guys. It was a fun project to work. @Oliver I am not good at painting figures.
