I wonder if I can use my gaahleri airbrush with this? This one is old school cleaning!

I got a small pay so I ordered some decals I needed to finish my USS Albany, and picked up a couple extra models that were on deep sale:

This has two ships in here, one to make the Z-37 and the other the Z-39:

I've been wanting a Sherman with a dozer blade forever, and now I finally have one:

Time to get back to the bench, I have another tour to start.....

Trying to restrain myself from buying kits and stick to my rule: build 3 buy 1... but I've been wanting this one and couldn't pass up on the price

Have the same kit. Botched up the first one I forget how. I have never seen a Sherman with a plow on it. I’ve seen wartime tractor with plows but never a Sherman. I’d love to see that one built up.

Dozer tanks were critical to clearing the beach obstacles on D-Day

A few were assigned to each tank battalion. There were never enough to go around in the hedgerow fighting, and that led to the creation of the Rhino prongs

There are three builds I know of on SPAM for that kit. One was a freebie when we could get samples, Handiabled built it, I think. Great job.

The other was one I built, not so great.

Cherry lock did one, too.

Can’t find the first rwo.

Tom, is that the kit I sent you? Build I’d young man.
