28mm M4A3 Sherman

My eldest has been knocking out a late war US platoon for chain of command and asked me to paint up a Sherman for him to support his Empress late war yanks. He picked up the Die Waffenkammer M4A3 and if you haven't seen one of these resin kits they are definately worth looking at, extremely well cast, supplied with stowage and crew, the only thing I needed to add was an aerial.
Construction was very straight forward, and I painted it using my normal long winded method. Photos below, Dougie

Basically I've primed the model, airbrushed olive drab on using modulation, applied a filter, chipping, pin wash, streaking, rust and some spilt fuel stains.
