About the Project
Most people will know I often tell John to paint things pink. He never does....... But I have not really painted anything pink myself. So this is my Operation: Pink Tank. I will be painting this M4A2 Sherman pink. (In no way is this a way to troll John with a pink tank, at least, not for as far as you know...)

Assembled
I got the tank assembled……. Which, since it is a snap together kit that I tried to glue together is now most like held together more by plastic putty to fill the gaps than with the actual glue…..?♀️?
The turret and the wheel/track assembly are just snapped on for the picture and will not be attached while painting.
I have a pink Sherman.........
I have a pink Sherman.........Sherbet....
Got the tracks all painted and then dirtied up for Sherbet. Oh yes, the pink tank is now called Sherbet. I also painted the details, added transfers and did some weathering on the rest of Sherbet.
Waiting for Supplies.
Currently this project is being delayed because I’m waiting on supplies, I will resume with it as soon as I can order them and they arrive.
Just Streaking the Tank....
So supplies are in and I finally continued the work on Sherbet, the pink Sherman. I now wish I did the tracks differently though, but I’ll have to live with that I guess. I applied some streaks and grime to the sides of the tank.
On Track.
I fixed up the tracks on Sherbet a bit, a bit happier with them now. I then attached them to the hull. So now the full tank can go through the varnishes and hope to have it finished soon.
