Hi Guys, this is the first tank I'm building, started on holiday when we were away because I wanted something that I could focus on building. A really nice and detailed kit with some photo etch and 2 choices of turret. Think it will be a good one to start me off in the world of tanks.

So it started off with some nicely detailed track and running gear and then onto the upper and lower hull - I've really enjoyed the build, no hiccups or problems.
Some nice photo etch details as light protectors and some nice bits of stowage, need to find references to see what I must add on as stowage also have an aftermarket tow cable.
Some really nice details on this tank and a really really fun build, have enjoyed it a lot so far, the wheels and tools are primed and the tank is now pretty much done and ready for primer and paint. Looking forward to the next steps.

Great choice to start with a Sherman as your first ever tank build, Anthony @anthonyricco Good start.
Fantastic entry and great progress, my friend @anthonyricco! Looking forward to it!
Thanks @johnb - having fun with it, a really nice tank.
Thanks a lot @fiveten, yeah been a fun, hope you enjoy the updates.
Hi Anthony @anthonyricco, I tend to stay away from military subjects these days (it’s the old hippie in me), but you’re obviously enjoying building this Sherman, and that’s the most important thing. Happy Chinese New Year.
Added a tow cable and the tank is now primed.
Hi @chinesegeorge yeah I'm enjoying it. No worries, each to his own, I enjoy them for the build experience and the actual making a kit more than for the vehicles they are.
Nice progress, Anthony @anthonyricco Was the tow cable included in the kit or did you made one yourself.
Nice progress, my friend @anthonyricco!
Thank guys, @johnb no the tow cable was an aftermarket one a friend was selling that I picked up luckily.
