I have a couple of questions about the sherman calliope. First I would like to know does anyone make a good quality kit of the sherman calliope in 1/172nd scale?
If not then with that in mind,can anyone tell me where I can get on line the dimentions of the actual tube size? length and diameter so I can scratch build them?
Is there a website that would show such items for this vehicle?
Thank you

Maybe this would help with the dimensions :

Talking about available 172nd scale kits, Italeri has released one (ex-Esci kit) :

and UniModel makes one as well :

On a side note, UM has released two other Sherman-based rocket launcher variants.

The Italeri/Esci offering is a "big hatch" M4A1 which continues the whole controversy of whether any M4A1 big hatch 75mm tanks saw combat, especially in this configuration. Having said that I need to come clean and admit that I have one.
