Hello all.

Just anouncing that i've put up 5 pages of reference photos on my website of the IDF M50 and M51 sherman. some B&W but Many larger color photos that make great reference pictures of these tanks.

Again if you want to keep these photos you should save them onto your computer as I'll be taking them offline when interest in them declines, so that I can put up another series of pics.

the link is

IDF Sherman M50 & M51 Photo's

really useful. although I haven't built any israeli armor (yet...) I have always had a soft-spot for Ishermans and their variants. As more and more resin and metal parts become available, projects like this are becoming more practical. Logically not everyone can fly off at tangents and start buying every available reference book either. Therefore material such as this is worth its weight in gold. The manufacturers are also helping with the more esoteric vehicles coming on line..... Jim

YOu don't have to sink a fourtune on this kit, Academy makes a pretty nice version.
Thanks for the pics, that DOES save us all money no books etc!!! And it answered my question about the headgear worn by crews. Looks like both the old WWII vintage stuff and US 'Nam helmet were worn on this tank....
