While strolling through the WWW, I discovered this cool freebie for owners of Tamiya's Shermans. Anyone who owns one from them will appreciate this template for fixing the sponson's hole. It's from Archer Fine Transfer's site. Norm Samuelson's Sherman Template

NOTE: It's in .pdf format so be sure you have this file on your PC first: Adobe Acrobat Reader
You can get the free download from the link I provided above.
Enjoy ya'll.

Great find, Ken! No more hacking, fitting, cursing, more hacking, more fitting...

I thought maybe I was late to the party and everyone already has this solution to the missing sponson thing with Tamiya kits. Hmmm...

I'm glad at least one person here could use it.

EGAD - now you link me!!!

Just kidding - I used the template when I built my M4 Sherman a couple of months back

How dare you not share with us back than...just kidding.
Wish I had it earlier. Beats the heck out of scribing, fitting sanding...bla, bla, blahhhhhhhh.

Thought I did

Well - at least everyone appears to remember that you built a Sherman! I just don't rate around here!

Now if someone would only be thoughtful enough to post templates to fix all sponsons. Wouldn't that be nice.

Patrick :-)
