Extratech "Sherman Family" in  1/72 scale

This article isn't real construction review in fact because both shown models are built from prototype kit parts not from available kits because they are in production yet.

We speak abut two members of injected plastic "Sherman Family" prepared to be released in year 2004 by Czech company Extratech. The fist Sherman kits should be available during Nuremberg  fair!!!

Photos and construction notes came from prestigious modeller Mr. Vlastimil Vodicka.  

"I received an order to build two promo Sherman models for Extratech company. The models are built out of prototype parts only but it's evident that quality of their injected plastic is forwarded comparing with first line of SP guns. The decal sheets are not available yet therefore just white stars are used as marking. Both models are airbrushed with VALEJO model AIR enamels. Patina is airbrushed and stippled and oil washing technique used."
