I hope anyway.

Welcome Jeff !

What version do you have in mind ?

Paul

---

Either the Composite or the DV one the Cobra one M4A2 one I do have about 13 different ones based on the Chassis's unless they come out with something else.
Is it limited to just a Regular Sherman or Based upon the chassis's design.
Either way no problem.
Did I not read that also a Searchlight and Wrecker one coming out?

Nice stockpile for the Project Matan ! Especially the Fomation tools and the Fruils

That'll be a ripper ! What markings are you planning ?

Hey guys, at the Huddersfield show the other week I picked up the DML M4A1 (76mm) Wet, "Operation Cobra"

I want to do it as 1st Polish AD in Holland, but don't at all fancy doing all those individual track links. So my question is, what would be the correct tracks for this version (I believe AFV club do a set of rubber band Sherman tracks?)

I'm also considering an M-51 (6 day war) as a second project in this Campaign.

I have the Dragon Premium M-51 kit in the stash,,,,,,,,,,,

I also need an appropriate crew....

Any tips on the M-51 and an appropriate AM crew ?

Cheers

Paul

Hi Neil !

If you do the Polish Version in the Kit, it will be the famous "Mount" of Lt. Tadeusz Wiatkowski, called "Flying Cow". ("Latajaca Krowa" ).

See here at 1:12 in this Video ....

Perhaps the figure and the mug is also in order The Crewman there is Lieutenant L. Barbarski (who is waiting for Milk )

The pictures I have show that 2nd Regiment Mk IIA's (M4A1 (76mm)'s W) in Holland in 1944 / 5 have T48 Rubber Chevrons. (they are in the kit). Some also had T62's welded onto the hull for addtional armor.

AFV have workable T48 tracks, I'm unaware of anything like a 'Vinyl' one piece (rubber) track. The workable tracks click together and at least don't need to be assembled with 'end connectors'.

Perhaps someone else can help...

Dragon DS tracks may be the best for you Neil :

Thanks for that Paul - the Dragon DS tracks was what I was thinking of, and then I had what alcoholics refer to as a Moment Of Clarity I pulled my DML Sherman III out of the stash and robbed the DS tracks out of that, which I do believe are T48 Rubber Chevron

Any chance you could share those pics you have? I'm thinking of doing a wee urban combat diorama.

Hmmmm...This might be fun...I haven`t built a sherman in a while and this might just be the push I need to get back to something I love...Last one I built was the good old M4A3 from Tamiya...


Now which one should I build? A jumbo ? A sherman Ib a firefly? an M4A1? M4A2..M4A3....E8...I`m so confused... Well I still have time to deside...I`ll sign up soon...
Man it has been a while...

It's all your fault Al! It should be fun...but how am I going to wait till July?
