Thanks!

Finally another possible kit build of the Canadian Ram tank. Standardization brought us the Sherman, but I wonder how the Ram might have made out if it had ever been fielded in numbers. As it was I understand they were only used for training.

I don't think I like Friendship's interpretation of the hull side bulges -- at least from the photos I'm looking over. I'm also concerned about that gun tube's straightness too.

Anthony: most of the other previous resin kits have some dimensional faults. Have you had a chance to go over general shape and design as compared to a good set of drawings? Thnx

The hull went through quite a few changes during production, the side bulges are an easy fix, after market new gun tube is also another quick fix. I compared other manufacturers hulls and this hull looks pretty accurate ,plus they also make a RAM Kangaroo kit, using the same hull.

Wee is offering very nice figures but true, shaping a hull like the Ram's one could be another matter... any way it is an interesting offer even if I will go on with the beautiful Formations conversion for a Ram II OP (F062) I was lucky enough to got few year ago.
