Great build!
I am waiting on some tanks I ordered from a polish site and can't wait. Any tips on tanks, in particular the treds?

Charlie C has a good tutorial somewhere on doing band tracks. Look for this tutorial first to get some great advice on track construction.

I usually do mine a little bit differently. I score each link to give the track a little bit of extra flex. Also, I stagger the inside and outside bands so I have some overlap to glue the ends together after wrapping them around the sprockets, idlers and road wheels. I also tend to hide flaws with Tamiya weathering master pastels. These pastels are great and can be applied dry or wet.

I can't give you much advice on individual link tracks at this time since I have yet to build any.

Very Nice build

I have this kit and it is not a easy build just finishing it is an accomplishment.

Great Sherman, now I know the standard that I must follow in building this model.
