Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me please which sherman kit I'd need to build an m36B1 using the turret from the Academy kit? and could I convert the hull from the M36 to the M35 prime mover and if so would it take much work?
Pete

The M36B1 used the M4A3 Sherman hull with VVSS; therefore, Tamiya's M4A3 75mm, M4A3 105mm, old M4A3 late, Italeri's M4 USMC, M4A3 Calliope, M36B1 Jackson, or Heller's M4A3 76mm would all work for the hull. You've got several options and I did not list several that were OOP for a long time.

Stormy -- Another option for that hull (instead of building a boring old M35 prime mover) would be a Formations or other M4A2 conversion kit. You'll even have a partial interior for it (or save the driver's position for another Sherman). You know, once you start part-swapping between Sheman variants, it never ends ...

Boring! How dare you sir!

Unless you have a big, ol' gun behind it, yes Ken, it's BORING.

This is boring?!



Never you mind his words Pete! Cover your eyes if he says that again!

Dang, Ken -- you made me laugh so hard I shot beer out my nose!

Stormy --- Build what you please and be pleased with what you build. Maybe Ken can find some interior pics for an M35.

Me, I'm building GUN tanks and a couple deuce-an-a-halfs this summer. (I also need to get cracking on that T-30 75mm HMC or I'll never make deadline for the Incoming! campaign. I never thought I would have so much trouble finding a Tamiya M3A2 kit!)

Hehe you guys never cease to make me chuckle. One thing intrigues me though,just where do you keep finding these great pics?I spend hours on google and alltheweb.com and I can never find pics like that.
All the best
Pete
