Finally found some time in the days and started with the Sherman. Everything fits together very well, I got new decals for Red Devils Korea.    |

Yeah! Love the Sernan. I guess it is because I imagine my Dad driving one, although I don’t know for sure.
Is this a good brand!

Welcome to the party Chris, remember it isn't required to be a sprint. Very interested in this Sherman as well as I♡Kits, are they an independant company or just licsense molds?

Dang. That is a serious box of parts! I figured this had to be a rebox of one of the other 1/16 Shermans, but sure enough...ILK did their own tooling. Amazing how many people are tackling big scale these days.

That comparison shot really puts this in prospective. It looks like you are going to be assembling tracks for a little while, at least the pieces aren't shouldn't be too tiny at this scale.

 AAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Nightmares of motor pool days past... "Men, we need all the tracks on all the vehicles swapped out before COB (Close of business) today." of course its late summer in the Deep South and the heat reflecting off of the concrete in the motor pool is well over 100* plus humidity to match... did I mention that I hate tracks for real?

I love the E8's too. I also love these huge kits, but given their size I would be limited to only one or two before space runs out. The cost is kinda hard to take as well. Bookmarked this one.

Update Upper Hull complet, next step the tracks over 1000 parts. I could've sworn that you just said over 1000 parts for the tracks. Right??!!  Progress is looking REALLY good on this Chris. You're pretty much building a real tank ....just in a smaller scale. lol |
