Thank you! Like stikpusher posted, there is some really good reference photos of dusty and dirty shermans. With these images in my mind, I continued with turret weathering.

Now this is some top notch weathering right here Jukka. I'm going to have to refer back to you when I get ready to build an armor subject.

A little progress here also. I will fix the running gear and tracks inplace and then continue weathering. Drive sprocket. Rucksacks. Decal needs a little fixing in left.

Thanks for watching this build. Tracks are fitted, most of the stowage is done and final weathering can begin. Last dust effects, oil stains etc..

I'm not sure how you can make this look any better than it does but I will be watching for your finish on this wonderful build!

Just superb finishing and weathering. You have captured the look of field worn armor in stunning fashion. Your attention to detail in the weathering is outstanding. The overall effect is brilliant. Kudos.

Made the fuel spillage a little heavier than it was. Looks a way better now. Don't mind the missing .50 ammo box, I wasn't happy with that and decided to repaint it.
