1/72 SHERMAN TANK BY ARMOURFAST



During my visits at the local hobby shop, I allways wanted to try out the Armourfast tanks. I really wondered if the level of finishing and detail is as good as their counterparts from Airfix, Revell or Italeri.

It turned out that - given a good paint job - in this small scale, detail is enough to compete with the other brands.

I once again used cadapac, sandgrained paper and synthetic grass for my diorama base.

The figurines I used are miscellaneous (Revell, Airfix,...) and also painted with Humbrol enamel paint. Oh, also used MIG Pigments (black smoke) to suggest exhauste smoke and used a branch from the garden for more realistic detail. The wear and tear marks on the tank body were made by on ordinary black pencil!
