This tank is a WW2 vet. The "splash" on the transmission cover was caused by a German anti-tank shell. It didn't penetrate, but left its mark. The advantage of the Jumbo was that the armor was double that of a typical Sherman. That shell would have knocked this tank out, for a while anyways. |

Last weekend was a military vehicle show. I was very excited to see this M4 Sherman "Jumbo". |

The turret number is hand painted. The stars are from an old plastic kit. |

My wife bought this kit for me the year I retired in 1992, so I would have something to do. However, I kept busy with antique car restoration, model cars, carpentry, etc. So it wasn't until 15 years later that I got the kit out and started to once again get hooked on a hobby that I had enjoyed in my boyhood years. Discovering the virtual Aerodrome.com has really kept up my interest and been a great resource to enjoy this hobby. Spray paint colors used on this model are: Krylon Fusion Navy Blue and Krylon Sun Yellow. |
