Gents, hi !!!!

Since the "Big Companies" do not release an injected Sherman DD and I really like my kidneys to sell them in exchange for a resin kit, could someone help me?



Anyone have pictures, diagrams, draws or sketches of the propellers and guide system of Shermie DD??

I'm really thinking of make these beauty in scratch!!!!

Pictures, photos (real and kits) , diagrams of the Shermie´s DD rear, please !!!!!

Thanks in advance !!!!

As far as I know in the wordl there are just 3 exemplars of DD sherman

The only one of them which is still working, is the "italian" one, preserved at the
historical museum of Piana Delle Orme (near Latina, Lazio)

...have you ever been to Italy?


Cheers

I believed the only complete DD Sherman was the one at Bovington.

At APG they put a DD set on an M4A2 76 HVSS. I shot 37 photos of it, many close up detail shots. You can find them here: http://www.ipmsnmma.org/gallery.htm

Thanks, gents !!!!

Many thanks for all links, tips and pictures !!!

Big hug and all the best !!!

Hi Marcos,

i build the Resicast kit with lowered sreen (not on the market jet) some years ago.
There are some pics in the kit maker gallery.

Good luke for your project.
Harald

Nice pics Harald.

Is that the old out-of-production Resicast kit 35.121?
If so, I picked one up on Ebay a while ago and those pics will help a great deal.


(Marcos, see what I mean about your and my subject choices?)

Yes Ken. It's exactly that kit.

It will turn out into a nice model at the end. But you can choose easier projects.
I have a few pics more from the build. Send me a pm if you have interest.
Cheers Harald

PM on it's way Harald, thanks.
