Oh my... I never expected that I'll get this kit. I'm so sorry... I can't resist it. It's so beautiful... so powerful... just like what a tank should be, yet it's not a Sherman...

here she is:


Look at my Sherman's impression:


Oh my... they look veeeryyy unhappy about it.

Dude, that's funny!

Tell the Sherman Family to lighten up.
The war is over.

Can't we all be friends?

Good thing you have four Sherman 'cause it will probably take all four of 'em to stop that monster...

4 Shermans is just a appetizer for a Tiger II before it goes to the big steaks :-)

I think your Sherman's are in BIG trouble. I heard the best ratio was 5 to one. Due to ranging the KT would be able to get three of the SHermans as they were circling the KT . Do to the slowness of the turret turning mechanism the KT would have ony been able to get one of the other Shermas coming up from the rear side and the last one on the other erar side would have been able to get a shot in to hit the engine area

Have fun with the kit. I just finished the build up of it and its waiting for paint. It goes together great, no snags in the build for me at least. Post some pics when you get started.

Regards

Remember the German saying "One of our tanks is better than 10 of yours, but you always seem to have 11!!"

I know I know :-) That means I have to build more Shermies. 10-1 ratio :-)

That's why in my sig line it says I need to build a total of 55 Shermans because I have built 5 German tanks. However I am beginning to debate whether a Flakpanzer can really count because I'm fairly certain that Flakpanzer vs Sherman would be a much more even fight

Shame on you...Please turn in your official Sherman Fan Club membership card and secret decoder ring.

It looks like a nice kit. I've thought about picking up some German armor. I think the King Tiger and the Elephant are my favorites....and the Panzer IV D with the short barrel.

Have fun!
Steve
