Hi guys, I'm using some old Sherman bits to build a knocked out tank for a dio in Italy, and am looking for some transfres to depict a sherman in Italy.
I came across the following pic of a Sherman in Italy that captures the look i'm going for:
http://www.756tank.com/756cassino.jpg
This is from the 756th tank battalion website which lists this as: 'M4 tank number C-14 (from the 3rd Platoon of "C" Company) stuck in the mud near the Rapido River, Cassino, Italy on February 8th, 1944'
As luck would have it a bit of research showed me that Tamiya included a paint scheme and markings for this very tank in their M4 early (kit no. 35190).
Now I don't have the kit to hand, and don't fancy buying it for the transfers alone, so I was wondering if any of you guys have built this as an ETO version and have the transfers spare that I could use? I'd be happy to come to some agreement or help you out in return for your help.
Many thanks,
James

James,
If Doug can't find his, PM or email me. I have 2 full sheets that I am not going to use.
