Thanks Greg, I almost forgot about TW.
Since we're on the subject, have either of you built any of the 1/48 Tamiya Sherman kits?

Hi. I used to do a lot of 1/48 but eventually found them too restricted. Anyway, Tamiya's Shermans are not bad, but only make the M4 and M4A1. With appropriate AM parts and PE from Hauler and Iron Division/Tank Workshop, etc, a very nice miniature can be made. Tamiya's lower hulls on most of their models are metal and simplified which turn off a lot of modelers. But thanks to Iron Division/Tank Workshop much better detailed resin lower hulls are avaialble, as well as other replacement parts.

Great info, thanks Biggles

Jeremy, There are Legend, Black Dog, Fighting48th, etc, etc sets out there for Shermans. I built a HB and a Tamiya.

Here's a Hobby Boss with a Faxon conversion



and the Tamiya with a Verlinden set
