If it was German there would already be 3 or 4 kits available.



Yeah, look at how many Land-Wasser-Schleppers there are. I wonder how many actually saw action, compared to how many DD Shermans did.

Oh well, as far as I'm concerned they can make as many German things as they want, as long as it makes them enough money to come out with the occasional Allied vehicle as well.

I would LOVE to see a 1:35 Sherman DD (M4 A4) in plastic. Any manufacturer appreciated. "3 in 1" sounds interesting!
Please, please, please!
And if that little lie helps: "Hey all you manufacturers out there, I am quite sure that at least one Sherman DD had been captured by the Germans and used as a BEUTEPANZER!"

Hi Alan,

Tasca is my first thought.

But it will kill me if there comes a DD in plastic. I did the kit from Resicast and it was a real furnace.

But what the heck!

Happy modelling

Hi Harald,

Nice work Sir. As the Sherman Campaign runs for a year I'm hoping to get a few built, but one would do .

Thanks for the pic, great looking build.

Al
