A Sherman from my own '46 Wargaming project. Pretty much finished, although might put sqn tac markings on it somewhere. Anyway for those that dont know its a Ken Overby M51 HV conversion kit using Dragon HVSS lower hull and vehicle fittings (lights, tow cable etc). I added AB crew, a Milicast Firefly stowage bin, searchlight wiring and a bit of paint .......

cheers

Those are really cool! Makes me think of some what-if's I've been wanting to do. Excellent job on all of them!

Hey there!

These look great! I'd be interested to know how you selected /speculated what would be in use in 46. Did you consider putting in some early Centurions?

Cheers

Hiya mate.

Basically its a mix of late war stuff along with some developed vehicles (SPG and APC on the Cromwell chassis) and finally some 1950's type stuff where develpoment could have been rushed forward. I started by making up some TOEs for the wargaming units and are now making vehicles to fit that. I'd love to add some Centurion 1s too but Cromwell is sooo hard to order from at the moment.

cheers

Brent,

Do you ever go to sleep? HeHe... Wow, that is some awsome looking Sherman. That beauty sure looks like it can take a beating and return the favor! You sure have some very good ideas and your style is the bomb Brent ! I can never get enough of viewing your armor builds. Keep up the excellent work.
