Hi all
This is the AFV club kit, with a corrected engine deck, a scratch built extra frontal armor plating, a metal barrel from RB Model and a lot of AM and home made stowage.
Hope you like it, and please do comment.
Jacob

Can't comment on accuracy but that's a visually attractive build.

I really enjoyed the add on armor and the rust effect. Was the decision to paint it that way artistic license or did the upgrade depots really leave them unpainted?

Regardless inspiring work!

If you correct your white balance for the photos it'd have looked much better. It leans too warm.

Great looking build. I especially like the paint job on the front armor plate! Well done!

I like it, nice subdued final appearance with the added armor that was probably very common yet not often modeled in my opinion.

Thank you all for the nice comments.
The add on armor is something I've actually only seen on Sherman Easy Eights, but I think it looks cool, so I just went with it. As for the choice of color, I wanted something, which looked like it had just been salvaged from a factory somewhere, and rather quickly was fitted to the vehicle.
