Another Sherman Tank 1/20 Scale

Check out Rev 2 of this if interested in this model.

Summary

This is a 1/20th scale Sherman tank, a rolling model. Tried to make it look like the late model upgunned versions. I was not trying to create a historically correct model, just a model that would be reasonably fun to put together, look decent, and not send you to the hardware store for more pieces to complete.

Everything needed to assemble is printed with the exception of some fast set epoxy. The track and suspension are held together with filament. A couple clamps are nice to keep a couple things aligned as I found plastic parts can warp. The normal print clean-up tools and a 1/4 " round file was good at cleaning up holes to provide smooth rolling.

PLA+ was fine for all parts. While the model is fairly large the parts are sized to fit on a normal printer I will post a split hull for that.

Calling this thing done unless someone finds a file I messed up. Ran out of light grey filament, so a two-tone tank...
