Those Tasca T-49 tracks would look great on a new Tasca M4 composite with low bustle turret and the Firefly Ic they would release with it.

A couple of new sets from Tasca that might be very useful for the campaign.

I'm enlisted for my first AFV campaign as I've been wanting to get a Sherman into my queue.
I'm not exactly sure what but I'm leaning towards one of the Beutepanzer kits.
I've seen the Cyber Hobby M4A2 1:35 kit for, like, $30.00.

I'm just throwing this out there, lord knows I don't know how to do it, but I'm wondering if a Shermanoholic web site on the KitMaker network might be a good idea? The P-47 guys have done it over on AeroScale and I don't think there's an M4 modelling/reference site out there. I'm pretty sure the interest is there, we even have our own disease name 
Just figured I'd run it up the flagpole and see if anyone saluted, and this seemed like a good place to ask!

OR.... Tasca's M4A1 early DV, M4A1 mid .M4A1 Late (I've got a dozer blade for that one from Trakz...and a ShermanVC..With updates from Armor Brigade ..new turret hull and tranny cover ....Now I haven't even looked at all the resin kits I've got but I'm sure which ever kit I do decide on it'll have at least Formation tools on it and I'm sure I got a bit of PE around here too ...

I have a lot of Shermans in the stash but I think I'll go with an M4A3 76mm with sand bag armour of the 14th US Armored Div. I have the Legend Sandbag set somewhere in the stash too.

Paul, with too many projects and such a long build time I can't say yet what I'm building. There's a Tamiya M4 to become that image of H-2 "hurricane" rolling off an LST, several M4A3s, and an M32B1 (which might be done for the Engineering campaign instead). Then there's a Firefly, and am M36...
I'll line 'em up after I finish my Tank Killers entry for 6 June, which of course is an M36B1!
Is there such thing as rehab for shermaholism?

Paul,
Yes, that is the one. It was a toss up between that and the Italeri 225. I like the Tamiya kits every time I order another type I'm kinda of disappointed.

Wow! Imagine a site without Tigers and Panthers! Heaven!
So, I am leaning toward an M4A1 DV, I seem to remember a pic of one in Alsace with whitewash. It'll be an almost total Formations resin kit (I know, sounds stoooopid, but you gotta use what you have in the stash...)
Cheers!

I picked up a Dragon M4A1 DV for the campaign. I am going with an Operation Husky two tone paint job. It will probably be OOB but will put it on a base with figures. I am looking forward to doing my research and starting on this project. I have not see many pictures of two tone Shermans from early in the war but should have enough info for something interesting. I have never painted a 1/35 figure either, so I will get some practice in before I do the real thing for the campaign.
I am currently practicing on a Dragon M4 Sheram Normandy. I was going to save it for the campaign but it was calling me. I may pick up another variant before the campaign is over
