The start of detailing my M4A1. My sons Panzer IV will be next. Way more detail to come on the Sherman, I have some wild ideas. I used high temp grill paint on the metal tracks, we will see how this works out.

There are many options in 1/35 but fewer in 1/16. It's a long road, but we're getting there.

Absolutely. Y'all didn't think we'd just stop at carrying only the stock vehicles themselves, did you? We aim to do to RC Tanks what we did to RC Foam Electric.

JCB 67 I may have missed it, but how did you create the driver's vision blocks? I see in this photo you have the red-hued vision blocks in your tank and it really helps tie together the model's realism!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Alpha I made a pattern by pressing aluminum foil around the glass frame, then trimmed that and transferred that to a piece of thicker paper. I measured the paper pattern and cut strips of thin clear plastic and trimmed to length and shape for the vision ports and cupola. I colored the blue and red on the back side with permanent markers and glued with Tester's window glue. Hope this makes sense :-) ...I couldn't find my sheets of Evergreen plastic so I used a thin material from a clam pack I had laying around. On other tanks with smaller window openings, you can fill in the glass openings by just using Testers glue/window maker or similar product by itself.
