Howdy 'Zod,
Always good to hear your voice, and let me say a big "Thank's!" for starting up this great Sherman Campaign.
But first, I gotta ask you.......what's a Sherman?

Ciao everyone,
Stupid question here. Is it still a campaign even if it is still in the "awaiting approval" stage? If so, then I am going to join the Sherman campaign! I want to do a Sherman swimming ashore during Operation Husky. If anyone hasn't heard, Great Models has a big restock of the old DML M4A1's.
Ciao for now
Rob

I am building at least a correct M-32.This was based on the early M-4 welded hull.I have 2 sacrificial Italeri M-32B1 kits to donate the booms and fittings.I also have 2 Tamiya M-4 early kits.One will be used for hull and lower hull for the m-32.Another will be the lower hull for a TWS M-4A1 upper hull and to supply the small hatches and deck fittings,to make a correct version of what Italeri was thinking of doing.
Pictures as I progress.

Where do I sign up. I was just about to build a Sherman Ic with the Tamiya M4 early TWS composite hull and Formations turret and TMD stamped wheels. Also what is the length of the build?
