M4A2 Sherman Pictures

I painted this from a picture posted on the forums. It’s Italian campain sherman. It’s Italeri marine sherman. I tried to copy the picture, although it was an early M4A2 and this is a late.

Any coment good or bad welcomed.

Wow that’s great. I like the stowage.

Very nice!![8D]

haha thats awesome, wonder what the crew was thinking!

Nice to see some variety with the Italian camo jobs. That is pretty cool Matt.

That is great!! I watched “Patton” tonight (again) and in one of the cutaway scenes they showed a sherm with that scheme for a split second but I still saw it.

Pretty cool, certainly a change of pace from the usual olive drab. The stowage box on the turret bustle is interesting. It makes it rather reminiscent of a firefly. The stowage is nice, properly tied down. The most major citicism that I have is pretty minor. The tires look too black for the level of weathering for the rest of the tank. They cerainly don’t need a “mud job”, but probably should at least be dirtied up to look as though they’ve driven through the same dirt as the tank. Again, this is a minor point. That’s a fine Sherman.

Ok, you got me there. I used a Firefly box as a start. I also agree on the tires. Should have started with a “weathered black”.
Thanks to everybody for your coments.

Nice camo job, Matthew…love the unique look…
