IDF M-50 Sherman by Chan Jackson

 Chan finished the MP Model 1985 boxing of an Israeli M-50 Sherman as a vehicle given to the SLA Christian Militia  in the period they were allied during Lebanon's civil war from 1975 to 1990.



Chan was drawn to this vehicle because of its unusual blue paint scheme which he found a bit difficult to replicate.  All vehicles used by the SLA (they also used Tirans) appeared to be rough condition which afforded Chan the opportunity to get creative with his weathering. 



The building is balsa wood covered in putty and the road is cork covered with AK textured asphalt paste.

The figures are from VLS.

Sherman M-50 by Chan Jackson

Chan built this Israeli M-50 from the Dragon M4A4 kit mated with an AEF Design turret. He finished it by airbrushing Vallejo acrylics over a Tamiya base coat.
