Good one Gary, a great kit!

Good on ya! But really, who didn’t build this one as a kid?

Me actually… Built my first in 2022. But I am also rather childish at times, so it still counts, right?

I have never built a Sherman kit.

Seriously, Gary? I mean, really??
Well then, here’s your chance!

That’s a nice kit. It replicates an M51 Sherman from Y Kippur, because it has the modifications. But you will need the rear stowage rack and the travel lock.

Me neither. I didn’t build one until I was in my twenties.

I confess myself shocked and abashed.

Building a Sherman is a Rite of Passage. You haven’t lost your armor modeling virginity until you’ve built a Sherman, a Pz IV, and a T-34.

Check, check 'n check.
But I always thought a Sherman, a Panther and a Tiger? These are THE start-off’s, right?
Gotta do the three workhorse tanks. Panther and Tiger are primadonnas.

Great. Just great. Now I’m an armor modeling spinster.
If you cross Sherman off that list, yes. 
Yes. Lovely, expensive, high maintenance, deadly, and jealously envied by every other tank in the room.

Fair point.

After looking through the stash for further Sherman possibilities, I find I actually have 2 Sherman possibilities with Chilean markings, and all the aftermarket I can stuff into both boxes, for an M50 and the other being the aforementioned M51. Other than that, most of my other Shermans are outfitted to be IDF beauties. Either way, Chilean Shermans are leading the way at this point.
