[B61 MACK]

Started a new tank kit its a Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Medium Tank SHERMAN M4A3E8 "easy eight" European Theater.
This Sherman seen Action last months of WW2 they also seen Action in Korean War.
These Tanks had 75mm Gun and it could take on the Big German Tanks.

Will say one thing jezz its a small tank the the two German ones I have built, Only one colour Olive drab which is the colour its molded in.

interesting that it’s small but will look good in olive drab

The Sherman were a light fast moving Tank.
When they went after a Panzer IV, Panther,and Both tigers they sent in six to one and most times only one Sherman returned.
The only Shermans that stood a chance was the British Flyfire and the Easy Eight,the only other Tank was the Pershing.

Been looking on U-tube about different ones building up this one as they are painting it up like the one from the movie Fury. There are going with the green and flat black camo on it. Which is fine if you want to go down that path. Fury was not a true battlefield story.
The Easy Eight was used in the Battle of the Bulge and pushed the Germans back. So one can put a white wash over the green for winter camo which I may do.

I’d probably paint it like fury I liked that movie
