Here's my Trumpeter Mid Production Sherman. It's build straight from the box with the exception of the Bison decals, the British turret counterweight I stold from the HAT Firefly, and the British stowage box on the back of the hull. I build my 1/72 kits for gaming, so they're not as awe inspiring and details as most of the completed kits you guys post pics of.
Overall, I like the way it turned out...it's not exactly the Sherman that the decals represent, but for wargaming purposes, it's good enough. As for the kit, I still don't like the clunky, molded-on tools...but I also have to complain about the grab handles on the hull and turret...they're molded on and, if you wanted them to look right, you'd have to drill out the centers or replace them with PE.
Let me know what you think of it (being a wargamer, I had to pose it with some figures and buildings...cuz we're silly that way).
