Well another Sherman build.

I asked and was told that the only Sherman's that used the Mine roller were M4's.

So can I not use the Tamiya M4 Early one?

Of cause would have to leave off the sand shields.

Here is the kit.

Only two broke parts not bad really.



Where I am on the other Sherman.



Thanks

Jeff...

Last year I built this combination.

There is a detail on the back of the Tamiya's M4, which must be corrected ...

The M4 Aunt Jemima had a more vertical armour on the rear...Baldwin plant...


Here is the link of Armorama, with suggestions of Roy Chow and correction of kit ...

I think it will help much in your project ....

In the Mineroller, you may put some details:


Good job !!!!

Thanks Marcos for the tip.

Will do.

So if I used the Dragon Normandy would not need any changes correct?

To me, the new Dragon M4 Normandy looks like ok...

See the rear plate:




Almost vertical, to me...


For the transmission cover, use de one piece casting tranny... F3 option


Go ahead !!!
