Academy 1/35 M4A3 Sherman Calliope

February 3, 2025 · in Armor · · 10 · 149

This is my take on the Calliope. I'm a Shermanholic and I like Shermans with interesting features.

I've taken time to search for reference for this build. Details omitted by the Academy kit are replaced or recreated. Cheek armor is made with putty. The stowage box at the rear is scratch built with stryene sheet. The T34 rocket is a bit difficult to set on as it's from Italeri and the fit with the turret is quite messy.

Thanks for watching.
