Excellent! Nice to see this unusual Sherman. Painting camos are very atractive.
Building is superb!

Sherman 18

Love it!!!!!!! Looks great.
Thank you all for the comments! I´m glad you are enjoying it
Got some time to work on this during the Holidays, so here are a few WIP pics.
Primered and ready for paint. I also test-fit the crew figures.In one of the pics you will see how the Jerry cans look in place:
Here is the model with a base coat of Tamiya OD + clear X22:
The OD is my own mix, you may feel it a bit greenish but it looks OK to me so I decided to go ahead
The model a few days later with the decals already in place and ready for another coat of clear X22:
Next step: wash with oils
See you soon!
Cheers,
Juliano

Hi Juliano.
Another very nice looking Sherman you have here. And don't worry about the color. It is great. There is afterall, no such thing as a "standard" olive drab once it gets about a week out of the factory. There is sooooo much that effects the final color and tone that it is very difficult to find two vehicles that have close to a match.

Looks great,
Like Gary says, no two vehicles ever look the same...
I think of armor as I would a kid. If there is mud, dirt, dust
or whatever, they will be in it and covered by it.
Keep up the great work.

Your Sherman looks good. Realistic color, but still too clean.

Hi,
Time for some up dates, I hope you will enjoy it.
Here is the model after some oil washes and a light dry brush:
Also notice that I already painted the tracks (in place),tools,tow cable and the rubber tires.
After this I put the model aside for a few days to dry. Next I created some dust effects with the airbrush and Tamiya Buff, later I will add some pigments to make it look more realistic:
Any comments will be most wellcome!
Regards,
Juliano
