Sherman M4A3 76mm - 1/72 Dragon - Tank Model

[@salvadorloarca5303]

En escala 1/72 es uno de los tanques mejor pintados y acabados que he visto. Gran trabajo

[@jhager1958]

Beautiful work as always, I live in Kokomo, Indiana. This tank is actually on display at a local park and was recently restored. Crazy that it's the same tank!

Have watched most of your videos even though I'm not much into tanks, amazes me that most of the kits that you build are 1/72, they always turn out awesome. bought my first 1/72 kit because of you...Early version BTR-70, should be here in a few days. Keep up the amazing work

[@legion4076]

How well did that BTR turn out?

[@heavyassaultcollectables1731]

Beautiful work, I would like to see you do a vehicle or aircraft that is in a maintenance bay and is torn down in pieces with great detail. 👍

[@chrischen79]

wow, this sherman tank was the first model I built when I was a boy, back in the 90s! I had no idea that you could paint and weather it, I put all parts together and called it done. Still had a ton of fun though.

[@thomasbarker4628]

I love watching you build your models but the best part for me is the painting. I am a novice so I take note on your technique and tips.

[@blinx2414]

Impresionante!! Llegas a un realismo que junto a night shift sois los mejores, me encantan vuestros trabajos!sois un reto para mí!

David, you build the 1:72nd scale model with details like a 1:35th scale ! I salute your skill and artistry.

[@andrewwaterman9240]

Superb build with wonderful weathering!

[@oliverdobson5199]

I seem to remember if you heat the tank tracks with a hairdryer you can stretch them around the wheels much more easily. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m sure I made an old airfix kit where this was in the instructions. Excellent model as always.

[@theralphster8492]

Brilliant, just when it looks like you're almost finished you start the next phase ! Your videos are fascinating to watch, such talent, I'm learning so much...thanks for posting them.

[@normansmith8184]

When a kit presents problems that make you scratch your head and ask "why?" and then turn the thing into a 1/72 masterpiece like this, it does give even more satisfaction - yes? Detail and paintwork all there as usual. Great result sir.

[@thetankidiot6609]

Youll get my respect, for building this model! As I saw, what you made with it, with all those gaps and the tracks; that crazy! Props for that and youve done a great job painting it!

Hi there, next time you have problems with short rubber track try to place them on the freezer for a while, rubber expands with cold temperatures.

[@idaemonplasmo]

It sounds interesting. Thanks, I will try it. I have only one problem I do not have freezer :-D

refrigerator should work , but ice would be perfect. a possible solution is a can of compressed air upside down, it will freeze for sure.

"I do not recommend this kit to beginners as the fit is bad" Mate my first kits were all from Airfix this would be easy.

[@beaverchicken]

Benjamin Cunningham You put together old kits from airfix? All the ones I've bought, except for my B-17 all had great fits and looked very nice

[@Mark-ct8fk]

@@beaverchicken Yep. I started making 1/72 scale models for wargaming in the early 2000s, and the Airfix kits at the time (we didn't know about checking to see how old they were) were terrible. The planes that I was attempting to make in the mid 90s were even worse. Although, TBH, when I was a broke student flatting, or broke before I had a job, it wasn't really the quality of the kit that was a purchasing factor, more the price..

[@beaverchicken]

Okram NZ Oh I guess older kits are pretty bad, made a few older ones and I have to agree that they are next to shit to build, but their newer fit nearly perfectly, with a few exceptions

[@timmy3822]

Okram NZ I recently discovered an old Airfix kit of the Bismarck from the late 90’s and decided to finally build it. The mould was terrible and the parts didn’t fit well together. Bloody awkward thing. I assembled part of the superstructure and just ditched it as the thing was becoming more hassle than it was worth. I got the new Airfix F4F-4 Wildcat kit however and pleased to say the quality is great and the mould excellent.

Me: *carefully uses manual pinvise and still gets a lopsided hole* Plasmo: *uses super high rpm power tool and still nails a perfect hole* Great work as always!

[@hughbrien2641]

Kevin start the hole by making a small indent into the plastic with a sharp object, eg a pin. This will act like a centre punch and stop the drill bit from slipping. Check the indent to make sure it is in the centre of the gun barrel etc, then work your way up through the drill bits, starting small until you get to your final required size.

[@13bravo72]

Nice video! I was wondering when you would do a Sherman 😊🤔. I have that same kit, and had those same issues with the upper and lower hull fit. Lots of trimming of styrene to get a good fit with no gaps. You would think Dragon would fix that issue, but guess it's part of the challenge of this kit, which you met with a successful build! Very nice work! Beautiful finish and weathering! Well done Sir!👍

[@stephenfoyle3329]

Fantastic work and a superb result. I'd suggest you need ropes to secure the equipment on the rear deck and ammo not usually carried in open boxes. Dirt gets in and that causes stoppages when firing. Not a criticism just a bit of advice
