Sherman II, El Alamein Sherman

Very nice start. Looks like it's pretty accurate too.

dogfish, they are easy! I fist mark the spot where I think I want them. Then a clear the spot(s) with Testors gloss clear. They come off the backing easy, I use tweezers to move (push) them around. After they dry I coat with Micro Sol. I tend to not to use the separate ones as I can hardly read the smaller ones any ways. I use them to make some extra detail, along as there is something there that my eyes know and that is what counts for me.

Oh and I'm not a fan of decals, that must come from experiences long ago, so if I love them that is saying something.

Looking good speedy.

I've never put any gloss down on bare plastic before applying the casting numbers. I use solviset to set them with and haven't had a problem yet.

I love applying decals, probably the best thing I do. 

If now I could only paint and weather like you guys do I might consider myself almost a modeler!  LOL



Nice work so far on the Sherman.
