Manu-Military Posted July 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2018 Hi, Here’s a quick overview of my next 1:16 scale Sherman tank. A 1943 Fisher M4A2 built from scratch, 3D and resin. Thanks for looking. http://manu-military.e-monsite.com/pages/2eme-gm-wwii/usmc-m4a2-fisher-built-kwajalein-atoll-1944.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu-Military Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted July 23, 2018 Hello, Here's the turret for my Fisher M4A2 almost completed.To me, it only lacks the screw heads (already in supply) on the rotor.Thanks for reading me and eventually bringing some constructive comments. http://manu-military.e-monsite.com/pages/2eme-gm-wwii/usmc-m4a2-fisher-built-kwajalein-atoll-1944.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody Posted July 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2018 Hi, this looks very promising . Since it's in 1:16 scale it may be an idea to pronounce the rougher cast structure of the turret a bit more? Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu-Military Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted August 11, 2018 Hello, Just a quick update to show that the tracks are now completed. I'm pretty happy to have this job behind me by now. The building of the tank dos not need much more work to be over. I just kept the best for the end : I have to scratch the rear exchaust vent. Thanks for looking Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu-Military Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted August 12, 2018 Well it seems like it's taking shape or at least gives a little taste of what it'll look like when finished. See you Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray175INF Posted September 8, 2018 Share #12 Posted September 8, 2018 Hahaha this is awesome That picture of 4th Tanks sherman with a type 94 on her always reminds me of how man-of-wars would take enemy ships a prize during the age of sail Looking forward to seeing it completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted September 9, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 9, 2018 Excellent paintjob! I especially like the Marine's camo uniform, awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu-Military Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted September 30, 2018 Hi all, Thanks for your interest and comments. As SMC (https://www.scalemodelchallenge.com/) is in sight, the project is coming to an end now. I wish I can post more photos when everything is completed, I'm only waiting for decals of the brownish camo to make the inner side of the pants for my sniper that might come within days, then photos. So may you wish to see the whole thing done, stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu-Military Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share #17 Posted October 19, 2018 Hello, Being not able to make any better, I declare it done. Since there’s no M4A2 available, here are the main components: SCRATCH: Lower hull, VVSS drive train, T54E1 track (individual) links, fording exhaust vent, rear upper hull armor plate modification, Fisher drivers’ hoods and M34A1 turret rotor. RESIN: Transmission cover, M4A3 upper hull and turret with M34 gun shield. 3D: Fisher's radio bracket, hull fans, engine deck grills. Michael Robert’s USMC sniper with FFSMC camouflage decal and Takom tankette built OOB. Thanks for looking.

GITom1944 Posted October 19, 2018 Share #18 Posted October 19, 2018 Being not able to make any better, I declare it done. I don't know if anyone could have done better. Great work all around - research, build, composition... I really like the painting of the figure. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
