This build was the result of yet another sequence of failed builds. I was getting frustrated, so I chose something simple.

I had had some trouble with the Sherman from this series, but this kit went together well. I primed with Mr. Surfacer 1000, and used my Tamiya mix for U.S. Armor (3 parts XF-62 to 1 part XF-60). The pre-decal gloss coat was Right Step Gloss, and the post-decal flat coat was my Future / Tamiya Flat Base mix (about 5 parts Future to 1 part Flat Base).

Build completed March, 2020.
