Hi Guys,

I'm looking for pics of the Sherman IB 105mm. Particularly interested in the rear hull, spec. Tried Toadman's and google but can't seem to find what I want.

Also what was the difference between the IB and IBY?

Cheers

Al

Hi Al,
The "Y" means HVSS suspension.

Hi Pat,

Many thanks for those. Maybe a Polish Sherman BI in Italy, if I can make it work.

Cheers

Alan, drop me a line for a scan from the Concord Book The British Sherman which incorrectly caption one as a Firefly 1c. It is on page 60 from memory and is from the rear. You can see this vehicle has a one piece comd hatch indicating an all round cupola not known to be fitted to Brit Hybrids/Fireflies but found on late M4 105. All the typical late M4 features are their including the fold down grille plate.
Cheers
Al
