The decals supplied by Dragon have one small mistake – most sources and reviews that I have read agree that the elephant on the side of the tank is yellow, not grey. Even the box cover of the model has the elephant yellow. Below is the decal set supplied by Dragon:
As Ryan from Modeling Madness (aka Tank) has pointed out, Archer supplies replacement decals with the correctly colored elephant and the lettering is a different shade of yellow. My thanks to Ryan for bringing this my attention and this is a huge benefit of doing a WIP online. For some reason I never check for replacement decals with armor like I do with planes. Guess I will have to start. Do remember that Archer decals are dry transfers, not a huge issue but plan accordingly.
Below is the tank I am building. It is from Company D that also fought in Tarawa. Any time you can put DESTROYER on a model is just plain cool. I couldn’t find much information about D Company Shermans, but I like the additional markings eventhough it is alittle NASCARish.
