OUR CLUB HAd The Idea of doing A group build OF WHITE WASHED BASTOGNE SHERMANs and the results were good.  One club member past away before completing his project and I took up the reigns to get it done in his memory. 

Now that I have some VVSS shermans on the field it is about time i do an accurate m4 with early hatches.  A donor 21st century toy’s sherman Was my starting point as its glacis and hoods are close enough to modify for 1/16 scale from 1/18th,  Lets do this!
