Sherman 18
Master at Arms
I'm in with a truck :dude
1/35 scale G917T by ICM.
These are the parts you do not use, I went and cut them off the trees as they look similar to the parts you should be using.
There are some bunch out marks on a number of pieces. I filled the marks with 3M blue spot putty while they are still on the tree
I brush painted on Vallejo German Grey primer on parts that would be hard to paint once assembled
The roof of the truck I did not understand, as in the German made version had a cloth insert, I've never seen a Ford truck that year (1938/39) with one. The trucks made in different parts of the world all looked the same. I only found in my research that the German grill was different from American version. So I smoothed it out.
I opened up the hood sides by filing the backside and then cutting it out with a knife
Sanded out the putty in the bunch out marks first with 80 grit then 220 grit and finish with 320 grit
Before adding the cross pieces to the bottom of the bed I drug a saw blade over them making a wood grin texture.
