Hi,
This is my 1st Sherman tank built as FURY. Please leave your comments. I'm looking for ideas to make it better. Appreciate that and sorry for my bad English.
What do you think about my "War Daddy"?

have not seen the movie. My question does the movie have the spare track and spare road wheel on the glacis that rusty? I would suggest toning down the red or using the same dust & dirt combination you used for the lower hull.
Otherwise great job!

Excellent work, if it is 1/35 there is a crew set for Fury, see
http://modelkitsreview.com/bravo-6-figures-from-the-movie-fury/
Though I think it is bigger.
This shows one built , I think they do the full crew, but I prefer your in action look.

Track blocks are rubber, and therefore wouldn't rust. The wheel came painted from the supply stores, and as most, that wheel had only been in country for a couple of months, so again, it would not be rusty at all.
Otherwise, a fine job.

looks very nice. What did you do about the gas mask hung over the headlight? I couldn't tell looking at the pictures.
By the way the WWII vets got kind of upset when Brad Pitt was called "War Daddy" in the movie. The real "War Daddy" was Lafayette Pool, and his tank was called "In The Mood". Think it was an M4a1 (76). Mr. Pool was pretty famous in the world of Sherman tankers.
Keep up the good work, do let me know how you did the gas mask as I'm planning on doing the Fury myself.

Beautiful work! The tank looks like it just rolled off of the movie set! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing more of your of your modeling here on Armorama.
