Hi Vince,

Lucky legs is an M4 and not a M4A2 like you would expect in the pacific theater.

It clearly shows the airvent on top off the engine deck and the angle off the tanks rear side.
Typical features off an M4.
.

Hope this helps.

Frank.

Frank, Thanks for the reply. I thought I had a Sherman in my stash and was going to modify it to fit the scene. Since I need to buy one, I should buy the right one.Thanks again and Happy Modelling......Vince
