    So…
    after the Abrams operation 1/35 can begin

    Gotta do a Fury-ish, build. The trick with this one will be the diorama/stand I build for it. Just wait 🤯

    The 75mm vvss Sherman is about as far from fury as a Sherman can get.

      Sure to the trained eye, but it’s a Sherman so no one who sees it will ever know. Especially once the display is done and it’s detailed out. To the trained eye it can either be just a Sherman, or a not the Sherman from Fury 😂😂

      I wanted a WW2 35th tank so it’ll do just perfect 👍🏻
      and it’s a Tamiya so it’ll be a fun build.

            Slowly making progress. Life got me out of the shop for a few weeks. Finally got to sit and build. This is a pretty fun build.
            used a Tamiya M4A3E8 static on the A3 RC chassis
            Mechanics all work swimmingly
            Functional HVSS from Asuka, modded for durability
            Drive sprockets modded to fit metal tracks.
            Thanks for the “push” to do it right👍🏻🥸🤣
