Hi Aleksandr
A good start mate, although I feel compelled to pull you up on your running gear. The wet stowage M4A3 had the later style return roller arms which were noticeably 'upswept' not horizontal as these are. The dished wheels are fine for this kit although not the most prevalent type.
I'd use the housings on a late M4 or M4A1 75 but keep the wheels for this as mentioned...
I figured snce you have gone to great lengths with some super weld beads and extra bolts etc. that you'd want to know about this!
I have one of these in a near finished state, so I'd be interested to see how you progress from here
Brad ;)
 
not not interesting, just missed this build!

and it is a phantastic build! so clean and with so many beautiful additions!

great work so far aleksandr!
 
Thanks !
It is very glad that work was pleasant.Set old also it is necessary to correct ridiculous errors.For example to close up holes,otherwise through hatches it is visible the earth :woohoo: :)
 
Hey mate
I missed your last installment, but believe me I am enthralled!
Some wonderful etch work. You deserve a medal for getting both the spare track holders and stowage rack assembled successfully!

Another couple of small things you could rectify.
The PE step added to the front of the transmission cover should be bent into a right angle, and attached in that way to the front edge of the existing clevis mounting.
I would recommend cutting off the flat two dimensional locking pins for the fuel cap lids. Use wire to simulate them in a better 3D form ;) Also, maybe cut two full circles off the other end of the chain; they are a little long.
Loving your work mate, and look forward to some more super photography...
Brad
 
Great work there! I still love Tamiya Shermans. A lot of fun.

Note I could not tell by the photos did you use aftermarket road wheels with "backs" on them?
