Alright, I finished this a while ago. Since I had my camera set up I figured I'd get some pics of this. It started life as a Tamiya M1 Super Sherman. The upper half of this kit is really nice. The lower part sucks. The suspension was replaced with the suspension from a Dragon kit. The wheels were replaced with extra wheels from a Tasca kit. The tracks are Friul. I used a lot of leftover PE from other kits I've built over the years. I scratch built the finders, leaving one partially knocked off. The spare tracks are from the Tamiya kit with Evergreen strips added to make the box. The stowage is from various kits, mostly Academy stowage. I was going to use the figures that came with the kit, but I lost the head of the commander. The hatches on the turret open and close. The stowage rack was from the kit, I cut off almost everything and made new parts. Then, like a idiot, I covered it all with stowage and rope. I lightly weathered it, I didn't want to cover any of the work I put into it. The Browning on top is resin from a Verlinden kit.
