(OK, I lied. I just wanted to use some black star decals!)

An addition to the black star crew. My M60A2 is finally battle ready.

Nice! Whose kit is that? I tried Mato's duckbills on their Sherman, but they broke a lot and caused detracking. Good turret. Nice photography too, looks like it belongs there.

Taigen kit bashed with detail parts from the AHHQ one. TK50S. Fantastic running/sounding tank. The duckbills really make a difference on the field

Looks nice Bob. Yea the South Pacific ones are cool. Here is what will probably be my only Sherman I built over the winter. A Free French very early M4A3 76 (W)

I added some more grime and some naming by the crew.

Somewhere in the South Pacific...this is the newest member of my Black Star Squadron. Actually, it's a Heng Long M4 Sherman decked out with wood anti-magnetic planks bolted on as a field improvisation. The sandbags in front are fortuitous courtesy of a generous colleague.

(The sprocket hubs aren't on yet, since there is more work to be done on the suspension.)

Amazing collection! You could use more room man! I decided to put some of my collection on the wall and do octopus camo on my closet door.

I was in the good mood to organize one side of my little hobby room this AM.
