I have never seen the extra machine guns conversion before. Looks like an easy one to carry out.
Thanks for the photos.

I must admit I would not want to be an infantry soldier facing this Sherman type.

Michael was reported as the first Lend Lease Sherman supplied to the British so is a pretty famous tank.

Some day I'd like to do the original version:



I don't know at what point it got changed but the very early version is cool.

Jim Wechster did a nice build of it some time ago.
