I have four Airfix Shermans to build for wargaming which will feature here and some Dragon Shermans III,V,A1 etc. which will be in the MV section.
Due to work commitments - being cream crackered from labouring all day on a building site  I shall start at the weekend.

My my I have left this for a while.....
I have removed all the flash from the kits, a small victory in itself! and have assembeled the bogies, sprockets and idlers.
The turret has been completed and the hulls are almost done , just the bow guns left now.
The kits will be undercoated black H 33 from an acrylic can and will be sprayed H 159 and then I shall attempt some ''Mickey Mouse'' camoflague .
I have just taken delivery of a few packs of SHQ British Tank accessories and crewman and commanders so I will keep all the hatches on the tanks open and cram lots of stowage and camo net and over the hull and turrets.
I fear I may over run the deadline with the painting though!
Cheers,
Luke

Cheers Stu,
A small update, I have now finished all the construction and will tonight be undercoating the models. I have finally taken some pictures but need to upload the software to my new laptop so they should be up by the end of the week 
I have been very impressed by the quality of the stowage and figures from SHQ.

I reccomend you get some!
Cheers,
Luke
