Tamiya 1/35 Sherman easy 8 Korean War

further progress on this fine model.Seems like my weathering technique has improved? still not finished with that.Delayed 3 weeks waiting for replacement decals from the kind people at Tamiya USA.Best quality armor model I have ever built. Rubber Tracks look good enough to me. Poor fit on that Left rear fender.

The red face looks really good, not too bright. Wayne

I must say they look a lot better than the T66 tracks that come with the Second World War version of this kit.

a quick fix for you is only the upper left oval tail light lens was red. The others were black slits. Hope this helps

Yes I know it was flipped. I saw that the hull MG mount was on the wrong side. I couldn’t figure out on my editing software how to reverse it.
