"Liberated Bucket" M4A3 (75mm late) from Asuka

Just finished this one as part of a PPP group build and thought I would post it here as well. This is the Asuka kit with tracks from Panda Plastic. The stowage is from my spare parts bin and the figure is from the new(ish)Tamiya Tank Crew figure set with epoxy arms and a the smallest Verlinden US tanker resin head that I had.
The model depicts a Sherman from ā€˜Cā€™ Company, 15th Armored Battalion, 6th Armored Division outside Metz mid-Novermber 1944.

Cheers,
Rick


My favorite part of the build is, of course, the bucket!

Outstanding model Rick! Love the detailed stowage, and the various tones of the mud on the running gear. Very nice.

Thank you! appreciate you giving it the once over with your keen eye!!

Outstanding Sherman, Rick. I especially like your stowage!

Thanks Dennis!
The plan is to be able to take it to Omaha IPMS Nationals as part of a group build with the Plastic Posse Podcast crew. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Cheers,
Rick
