Wow, looking at these images, the first thing that jumps out is how well the weathering is done on the Sherman M4A3 FLAMETHROWER model. The varied tones and the subtle wear details make it feel like you could just pluck it from a battlefield. I appreciate how ruspatriot has managed to balance natural dirt and grime on the tracks and lower hull without overdoing it. It’s like this tank’s seen some action but was well-maintained.
Talking about the Sherman itself, it’s fascinating to think about how these tanks were fitted with flamethrowers during the latter part of World War II, primarily for clearing bunkers and fortifications. Not something you see every day! This model captures that unique aspect pretty well, and it’s one of those details that add a certain mystique to the piece.
What really caught my eye here are the decals and markings. They are sharp and clean, giving the tank a distinct identity. It’s almost as if you can hear this engine rumbling along somewhere in Europe in the ’40s. The paint job is consistent, with a realistic touch to the OD green typical for that era. It always amazes me how a good paint job can breathe life into a model.
I wonder how ruspatriot achieved that weather-beaten look on the turret. Was it with oils or maybe pigments? It gives off that just-right hint of metallic wear, suggesting it’s been through quite a number of maneuvers. It’s those small touches that make this model stand out.
In conclusion, what I love most about this model is the attention to detail and the history it conveys. It doesn’t just look good—it tells a story. That combination of artistry and history is what makes this hobby so engaging.
