Here is my Sherman for the campaign. It depicts one of those funky M4A1 76mm tanks used by the 3rd Armored Division with the commander's and loader's hatches/cupolas switched and the added flat armor plate on the hull front.





If you're interested, there are a few more pics in my gallery, plus one over in the campaign gallery.

Nice Sherman but then I'm biased. Maybe it's just the sun but maybe a little dullecoat might help with the shine.

What figures are those?

Excellent job! But Im not sure if this tank would be worth 10 german tanks! lol :-) As i heard that 1 tiger tank has taken out dozens of shermans and lived to fight another day! Sorry to be a history buff. Great job once again! :-)

Tsunami you have the quote backwards. It was a German tanker that said one of our tanks (German) is better than 10 of yours (Allied) but that you always seem to have 11.

Thanks for the kind words! I took those pictures just as the sun broke through for about the first time in a couple of weeks and caused most of the shine. I dullcoated and dusted the heck out of that thing, and normally the finish looks flatter than in the pics.
The figures are a stock DML driver, a Tamiya sherman driver with a DML head for the loader, and a Tamiya sherman/pershing tank commander with a DML head.

That's one really nice Sherman - I'd be proud of that if it was in my collection. Great paint job and the conversion makes it look that bit different to grab the attention!

Ed,

great job on an interesting variant! I like the addition of the armor plate up front.
