Hi,

I want to do a Sherman M4 with the markings of Lt.Col. Creighton Abrams M4. I have the decals, but I not sure which kind of Culin device appears in this pic

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/M4_Abrams.jpg

A) Culin Hedgerow Cutter (Culin Rhino device) (Angle Iron Teeth) ?
B) Culin Hedgerow Cutter (Culin Rhino device) (T-Bar Teeth)
c) Culin Hedgerow Cutter (Culin Rhino device) (I-Beam Teeth
D) T3 "Rhinoceros" Culin Hedgerow Cutter M4 or M10
E) "Prong" (Hedgerow Cutter) for British Shermans?

Any clue or light?. TIA

It looks like one with the angled "wings" on the sides, like this:



Not sure what the exact nomenclature is - most were scratch-built in unit workshops, so there isn't much in the way of exact standards. The middle teeth are T-stock, sharpened to points and mounted flat-side down. The wings are triangular sheets welded together at the front edge and spread up by the I-beam - the bottom side is flat and the upper side slopes. I built mine from Evergreen shapes and sheet.

Hope this helps!

Is that the "Rhino" hedgecutter?

Abrams' tank looks to have the "Douglas Device" -- the one in Tom Cromwell's picture.

Biggles: all the prongs were nicknamed "Rhinos". But the Culin and Douglas prongs were the most widespread and recognizable.

Tom, Roy thanks for your comments.

Some scratch job ahead.
