Thanks everybody for looking.

One month later...

I have just begun to assemble the AFV club T48 tracks for Oddball's Sherman. Not much to see there right now. I've developed a bit of a technique for these which is reliable and fairly quick, which I'll probably go into later.

Over on the Fury side of the workbench, I replaced all of the Tamiya hatches on the tank with the much nicer ones from Academy. Not everybody will have a full set of hatches and all their fittings in the spares box, of course. Mine were left over from the M10 kit, so if you have one of those, you're in luck. I also replaced the Tamiya M2 machine gun with lovely Academy one from the US Machine guns set, which is an excellent and cheap as chips set and it's outstanding value for money.

I would say this one was finished, now.
