Hi guys. Here are some progress reports from the workbench:

I am in the process of doing my 14th diorama and so far I have almost completed the tank. It looks like a Sherman, IMHO.

Seriously it is the Dragon M4A2 Red Army Sherman. I will be adding some figures and groundwork this week...

This is my first work in 2 months so I feel a bit rusty. If I missed something please point them out. BTW this is a great kit. My only comment is that the dust cover which is made of rubber will not sit on the turret surfaces firmly and the tracks are a bit loose (see gap between the tracks and return rollers...) I may glue the tracks to the return rollers later.

I also have some silvering of the decals that I will also take care of.

Sweet. Just not into shermans but this is one of the best samples I've seen.

Good job with the streaks.

One thing about the decals. It's always good to have the model in clear varnish before it's applied.

Ciao.
