A $156.00 USD? Did it come with the skirting (which looks great) or did you make it?
What shipping should I expect?

Hi Christophe,
Would you know if any of the British versions had the early style gun mantle?
Thanks
Al

Hi Allan,
This M4A1 version was built by the Americans and only Americans. That's why it is painted in olive drab and not bronze green.
The production of British DD was too slow before the D-Day, so Uncle Sam gave some copies from his own production.
I don't know any pictures with another gun mantlet like this large one.
The british made the convertion only on the Mark V (M4A4).
And then, there are some pictures with the small mantlet...
Hope i have given you a correct answer.

Thanks Christophe,
Both 8th and 27th Armoured Brigades seem to have had M4A1 Sherman Mk IIs. Thanks or the info I'll go with the kit mantle.
Cheers

YES, I thank everyone for the answers as this will be my Christmas gift to...

I've always wanted a nice DD Sherman. The skirting looks so great too!

I just came across this build. I have seen this resicast kit but never painted to completion. Christophe your effort is very well done. A great look indeed.
Well done!
