From MilesR: M4 76mm Sherman "What-a-Tanker" (20 Points)

My "What-a-Tanker" inspired submission is a 76mm M4 Sherman tank in 28mm scale - it's a simple model but I think looks very good.



 The model is produced by Rubicon who have become my number 1 choice for 28mm scale vehicles.  I enjoy both putting the kits together and painting them up.  For some reason, I always prefer plastic over metal or resin.  Perhaps it's my misspent youth as a 1/35th scale model builder.
 One of the great things about a Rubicon kit is they usually come with a lot of options - this kit came with two different turrets and 3 gun options.
Basic olive drab coloring and my secrete "mud" mixture.  This one should net me 20 points.

A lovely Sherman workhorse, Miles.  I quite like the look of these Rubicon kits that you've submitted over the past few years. Though I'm quite partial to 1/48 scale for 28mm, I think I might give one of these a whirl. 

20 points for you, Miles and another submission to the 'What a Tanker!' contest. Well done!

  2. Lovely looking Sherman! It's funny coming to a Rubicon model after making Warlord ones to find so many options!
