Painted Tank

This is an early production 105mm howitzer Sherman tank.

The kit is mostly resin, with tools and bow machine gun in plastic.

HO scale model by Paul Heiser Models.  They have been almost unobtainable for years.

I managed to pick up three of them from Randy at Fidelis Models.

It looks much better in Olive Drab, this is the Testors spray paint.

Three in each tank battalion headquarters and one in each of the three tank companies but few made it into service prior to Normandy.
