Guys
As I was handed a complete(unmade) trailer from the Tamiya Churchill crocodile kit last night,I've decided to temporarily shelve the kitbash plans for Firefly and M4 early and look at doing the Sherman Crocodile.Can anyone point me in the direction of pics or plans please? All I've managed to find so far is one (small) pic of the real thing and the pics of Steve Zaloga's one over on ML.
TIA
Pete

Another quick search came up with this little gem. The name might ring bell.

Unless there are many Costas in Greece, I think we know the man who build this.

The picture of Steve Zalogas crocodile was from an article on that subject in a Military modelling magazine some time ago. I have it and could scan it for you. PM me if interested with your e-mail address!

Its military modelling Vol.32 No. 15. 27th Dec 2002 - 23rd Jan 2003. Its one of the better issues ... cromwell with full interior, Mig explanation of his painting a panzer I with Spanish civil war camo, weathering a chevy guntruck by Mark Bannerman and Zalogas sherman crocodile. Worth getting if you can. IŽll scan it and send it tomorrow.
YouŽll get use of your M4 early, as thats what zaloga uses along with the fuel trailer. The coversion is scratch built, and he writes its one of the easier conversions to do!!!! `Till then!
