Beautiful work Stik!!!
I recently saw the 1:1 version of this when I was at the US Army Armor and Cavalry collection open house. It didn't look nearly as nice as yours.

The muzzle brake on these makes them look so mean. Great finish!

Chrom, Dupes, Leon, thank you one and all for your kind words.
The Israelis pretty much created the ultimate Sherman in this beast. They didn’t address the armor situation, but then again, against other then current tanks, upgrading the armor to provide the needed level of protection really wasn’t possible. However, by giving it a new powerful Cummins diesel engine and the French 105mm main gun, they markedly improved both firepower and mobility, the other two legs of the tank design triad.

I agree with Dupes... the muzzle brake really makes a huge difference! Nice touch adding the stowage. I am weak for those... almost all of my builds have stowage too.

Tanks just don’t look quite right without stowage…. At least ones outside of any motor pool.
