You mentioned "Banging" this kit in a weekend. I have done a lot of German and British armor for a bout 10 years or so. A much of dragon,Meng and Tamiya. only did one sherman, an old Tamiya kit years ago. The instructions are all in Japanese, lots of exclamation point and ? on instructions.Never has this much trouble understanding a kit . Heard there were jigs provided for photo etch ? No grab handles for 2 hatch covers ? Feel like I never did a model. Maybe it's dementia ? any instructions in english ? Thanks Shayne

Good build , too much weathering takes away from the vehicle, where you cant tell anything about the vehicle!!! The chain looked like ships anchor chain, cables would be more accurate. Your model though. Just sayin too much weathering takes away from the actual model, placing the vehicle on a diorama with all that weathering would make more sense. But it is a good build I go with the KISS principle when building KEEP IT SIMPLE ST@@PID!!!

I do like your idea about drilling the wash ports. I am building this model. This model requires certain dexterity and much patience. My intent is a diorama. There will be a German fast boat and 3 B-25s, all 1/350 scale, in the layout.

Great work Shane, this looks fantastic! Looking forward to the painting and weathering video. Which basic kit did you use? Tamiya, Asuka? (does not look like a Dragon kit because of the color of the plastic). Sorry if you've already mentioned this somewhere in the video. Also, the wading device for the exhaust and the water tank, were part of the upper hull replacement kit, or different kits? Thanks!
@longlance67 Ай бұрын
So the base kit was by Asuka Model. Their M4A2 75mm kit. As for the wading and other gear it is all supplied in the PanzerArt resin upgrade set

Excellent Tutorial, Shane. You are a life-saver. I work with 100% with Tamiya paints for airbrushing because they are awesome, but man the Tamiya thinners make them smell so bad. I don’t have a dedicated hobby room so I tend to work in my office and during the summers keep my windows open 24/7, so the awful chemical smell is not that much of an issue. But I also like to work on models in the winter - and now your Vallejo-Airbrush-Trick is just ideal. PS: I’ve wondered why Vallejo Airbrush Thinners are just awful. I was told previously that in order for Vallejos to work well in an airbrush you need to thin them with BOTH Airbrush Thinner and Airbrush Flow Improver.
@longlance67 2 ай бұрын
@cawimmer430 their thinner seems to be very finicky at the best of times. But the flow improver doesn't seem to break down the paint like their thinner. I also find that AKs Gen3 acrylic thinner works well too I've discovered

Wittmann’s tank was in dead ground for Ekins. The Sherbrookes definitely made the kill, especially when the impact was on the left rear of the tiger, the opposite side from which Ekins was firing.
@longlance67 2 ай бұрын
Yes it seems that people like to overlook that simple fact. You cannot engage what you cannot see and you cannot hit a side you have no angle on. I understand why the British claim this event to the level they do. Especially when you consider the debacle of Villers Bocage and the oversights in not forming a defensive perimeter in hostile territory. It was an embarrassment paid in many life's that needed a win to make right. But the ground is the ground. I get many angry comments from those coming in to bat from the Yeomanry. And full credit to their crews that day, as they most of the heavy lifting in destroying the Tigers was indeed done by them. And no small achievement. But the Tiger in question I feel belongs to the Sherbrookes. As they seem forget that this was company level deployment with multiple troops(platoons) engaging and all containing Fireflys as Commonwealth Armored doctrine would have demanded. Though at the close ranges found at the end of the ambush on the Sherbrooke's side, the humble 75mm would too have been lethal. I find that sometimes peoples logic often likes to overlook this, and instead on focusing on supposed truths like the wall was too high to see Wittmann's Tiger even though the surviving Canadian crews talk about knocking firing loops, and run of bricks off the wall to clear their lanes of fire.

Nice work shame, but, yes their is a but, the USMC didn't use m4a3, as they were gasoline engine tanks, the usmc only used the diesel version of the sherman m4a2. I believe they may have used the Chrysler version but I'm not 100% sure on that

Close but not correct, the Marines did use M4A3s at both Okinawa and Iwo Jima, they generally took whatever they could get.
@longlance67 3 ай бұрын
You are indeed on the money. First deployment of M4A3s for the USMC was Iwo Jima with two Marine Tank Battalions along with a battalion of M4A2 landing on the Island
@longlance67 3 ай бұрын
Ah but there is a but to your but. So before Iwo Jima the USMC did indeed use M4A2s such as the Fisher built examples that landed on Tarawa. However their first deployment of M4A3(also Fisher built of memory serves) would be on Iwo Jima. With the Fourth and Fifth Marine Tank Battalions deploying the M4A3 and Third Marine Tank Battalion deploying M4A2 to the Island. Source is Squadron Publishing's book dedicated to the Marine Shermans on Iwo. Well worth a read if you can get your hands on it. hope this helps
