Modeller Build Logs
Sherman III Early in North Africa |

A couple of weeks ago I wrote up a review here on Track-Link of the Legend Sherman III conversion set (LF 1096). I really liked the set and couldn’t wait to start on it. So I thought, why not do a blog to show how the build-up comes together? So here it is.

| Chapter 14 - Painting - Part 1 | Aug 30, 2005 |
For the base color, I followed the same painting procedures that I used when I painted the lower hull. I first painted the rest of the parts in a pre-shade of Tamiya Acrylic NATO Brown and then covered it with Testor’s Model Master Sand. I didn’t paint the split hatch and one of the hull hatches since they will be in the green camouflage color.
One note, I didn’t mask the bottom hull (that was already painted). Instead I just slipped an index card behind the fenders to prevent over spray. If you haven’t tried this, it’s a great trick that saves a lot of time and helps prevent the potential damage that can occur from masking.
