Sherman M4A2 "Marines"

Sherman from Academy built was built "straight from the box". I didn't want to be victim of AMS (Advanced Modeller Syndrome).

 I just added some mesh on the air intakes and made new wood panels with some balsa strips. I made new handles from copper wire.

The idea for the diorama came from the boxart (a sherman wading a creek somewhere in the pacific front). This was my first attempt to make water. I used the resin water from "Prochima" that I consider excellent  and easy to use.

The crew figure is from Dragon with a resin head from Hornet
