Tamiya 1/35 M4 Sherman

Post by aceST90 »

This is my 3rd model that I've built. I know it's nothing too crazy yet but I really like it so far and am happy with where it is at. Right now I have some painting to do on the inside of the turret before I want to move on. With each new kit I work on I want to try a new technique and on this one I am trying to assemble as much as possible and paint at the end. So far it has been much more enjoyable than painting as I go.

I'm a big fan of Tamiya right now. I like how the kits come together well, are affordable, and most importantly are enjoyable for now. Although I can't wait to get a Dragon or Meng or something with a ton of detail

With out further a do, here is my M4 Sherman WIP:

I really like how the internals of the turret look.

Nice job Ace
I started off with Airfix but then progressed onto Tamiya when I first started modelling 30 years ago.
Great kits and nice fit and good detail.
The first kit I bought having took a 30 odd year break was a Tamiya.
Lovely job so far.

Looking good ! I built this kit about a year ago, went together perfectly. It was my first armour build, since i was a child.

Only your 3rd model ? I'd say that is a REALLY Clean build for one of your first . Still a really good kit those Tamiya Shermans.
