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.

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?

Thank you all for your comments and interest in this project.
I do hope to find some more spare time to complete it before the expiry date of end of October.

I'll be back asap with some more progress.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.
