Israeli M51 Sherman
I don't recall buying this kit but it has sat on the shelf long enough! If anything screams modernisation it's a 1940's vintage Sherman gunning it out with 1960's vintage tanks into the late 80's.
What's even scarier is when I took the box off the shelf and it felt pretty heavy. I don't recall buying any of this...
Looks like my simple build just got complex again

You are quick out of the blocks Adam. That's a nice collection of aftermarket goodies. Looking forward to seeing you work on this one.
Cheers,

Re: Israeli M51 Sherman
Very interesting project. I love when I open old boxes to discover that I put a lot of stuff inside I had forgotten.
Enjoy this GB.

Re: Israeli M51 Sherman
Hmmmmmmm - I just realized that I have a M51 with the 105 mm Modèle F1 gun sitting in a box halfway... okay, a fourth the way or lesser... built - that would be an idea... I mean, these two are the most badass a M4 ever got to be.
Following your build with some degree of selfish interest .

Re: Israeli M51 Sherman
It gets worse...this build is now going to be officially out of control and will take more than six months. Just found this, which I had forgotten I had bought on impulse from a local auction site.....
3 figures, a bucket load of stowage and a heap of ammo to paint...

Re: Israeli M51 Sherman
On the positive side, you now only need to paint half of the tank
