Tamiya 1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman Tank - Painting & Weathering 

Looks fantastic. I’m building a Sherman at the moment. So I’m using your video as a bit of a reference as it’s my fourth build after a long absence from modelling, 40 plus years 😂. What’s more it’s my first vehicle ever...

I just got this very model. 6 years later and this video still does great. Well done

Loved hearing the story of the Besotten Jenny, and you paint is excellent. I'm glad you decided to freehand the letters, it really does look excellent!

That is really coming along nicely and you've got the weathering bang on not too heavy not to light just right watching this reminds me that I've got to finish my Sherman have to pull that off the shelf and get started again, really nice job whoever you are keep doing what you doing simmmon

I appreciate that fine build. I also thank you for admitting to mistakes!!! God! I know I make them. Often modelers on RU-vid don’t admit to them. Very neat job.

Excellent video & job building & painting & weathering your Sherman M4A3E8 too!

Very nice painting and weathering. Really useful video.

As for paint i have used testors since the sixtys and in late 90s 2000s i started useing the model master line nice to get away from the oils. But i still do use some of the model master oils all part of the afrika corp colors. It has everything i need pluss it always works the way i except it to. safe to say i know how to use it by now. I have never seen another paint with the exception of tamiya sometimes in the mid 70s and you had to be in a model store to buy it. The problem with spraying was that i didn't fiddle with it because my testors where no brainers by then to me. So i didn't invest the time with tamiya paints. I have orderd some MIG some AK and some vallejo. I've brushed some vallejo it's nice. What i like with MIG & AK is the late war panzer colors. And probably some Russian aircraft paint model master doesn't carry. I keep hearing testors & model master are closeing shop. I have stocked several bottles of each color especially the ww2 RLM luft colors. Pluss there colors for American and English armor. If they shut down I can keep useing my favorite paint for years to come. After watching your videos im getting ready to dirty up a panzer. I kepp mine more or less clean scratches chips and dust and stains are pushing it for me. I really enjoy learning from your teaching.❤😊

Good!

You go from strength to strength Outstanding

Good tank,l do that, painting on Mission model color.very good.

Great Looking tank, truly a work of art/history

Wow mate great build

your great work inspired me to go and buy this kit. And thank you for the story about Jack Lee.

Came out nice....good story too!

Wardaddy : Best job I ever had!

Very nice paint job and weathering,

Really nice result, now I am tempted to build my sherman kit as well. The war story this is based on is truly amazing, heard they are making a movie

Looks great! Cheers!

Man you have a deep voice....great video btw

You did great job on your Sherman buddy, sup looking weathering and I like the story line :) Take care .

really enjoyed the vid. good to see the fails and how you overcame them as well as the successes. kutgw

Very cool

Your doing a nice job on this mate!

That Sherman looks awesome, Glen! Very nice details. I was thinking of printing a couple of decals, too, but after I saw the issues you had I'm not so sure anymore!

awsome Glen, cant wait to see the dio too, happy new year to you and your family my friend

great build verry good video

Lovely build mate. Might have to try doing that all over pigment wash in the future, I like the effect. Always been a bit worried before now about adding a wash like that over the entire model haha. Great result though.

Beautiful build Glen. Your dust effects are amazing, very realistic. I'm looking forward to the diorama build, the subject is fascinating. Keep up the awesome work!!! Take care. Scott in Colorado

excellent work

Love the finish on the Sherman and thank you for the history Lesson. Im of to see if i can get a copy of that book

Great work,be nice to see a list of your paints and weathering products used

Very Nice!

good work mate

Nice fuel, hydraulic fluid details!

Nice build my friend, i like it :)

Excellent.

NICE WORK

You were talking about the germans and americans fighting together at that castle to protect song frenchman. I've seen the story about that and I thought they did an outstanding job. You lost me on a little bit of that that you were saying. Was this a representation of the tank that fault at the castle.

With that Decal you made that failed that is called silvering. I was told to help prevent that always apply decals on a gloss surface. then when you are done spray a dull coat to seal them in.

Fun fact: you can buy white ink carts (or toner for lasers). Not fun fact: they are bloody expensive!

very cool kit the same kit on my fury diorama lacking acsorris

I had to stop building my Sherman because my exacto knife broke an like a movie got stuck in my shoulder since I was leaning in to see and pressed to hard, I hurts a lot

Very nice build. But I must comment! That seam line between upper & lower turret halves just screams out, "FIX ME!".... And, maybe some black pin washes, some chipping effects, etc.... But very nice build. I especially liked the paint work on the tools....

my tracks actually are starting to Crack where they were bent in the box, I have not yet started building.

Halidon, thank you for the video. I’ve never built armor before, but I selected this kit as my first. Thanks for the tips and walkthrough! Looks like you made weld seams around the headlight guards and some other places?

Nice build mate! KUTGW

What mix did he use for waeathering this model? I cant understand

Very nice work! can't wait to see the diorama. Just curious, what brand of Airbrush are you using?

What thinners do you use for the final weathering and do I have to use a certain brand of pigments for that. Right now I have tamiya pigments

Are those tracks for a Sherman or any American tank?

Crikey you should do voice overs with that voice.

accessories I had to buy some but they didn't look right so got a different Sherman kit and they had two of everything lol

What was the white block under the lower hull while you were painting?

Well done :) KUTGW

Are u aussie plus good vid nice tank

are you a Kiwi or an Aussie?

WTF language ?
