Hi !!!!!
Do you haeve any photo of Sherman M4A3 nicknamed "Classy Peg" (with fancy wolf on the side of the hull). This tank was attached to 43rd Inf Div in the Phillipines. I'm especially search for photos of the front side of that vehicle.
I'll be very happy if you know anything about this Sherman.

Hi Michal ...If you do decide to do Classy Peg remember that the Tamiya decals are wrong and that the wolfs head should be facing forwards on both sides of the tank . Also the tracks included in the first release of this kit had the wrong tracks and should have the rubber chevron tracks as seen in Tamiya's reissued kit. Just thought you might want to know ..

I have Italeri kit, not Tamiya
If you have the Tamiya kit, would you be so kind and send me to my e-mail adress scan of the painting scheme and decals?
