Hi, all. I'm going to build the 1/35 Trumpeter LCM and would like to build a Sherman to go in it . Suggestions?

Thanks!

Don't put a Sherman in it. From what I understand Shermans were disembarked from LSTs and not LCMs

Any suggestions on what that should be?

Most likely a jeep or beep.

If you want a tank, how about the M24? IIRC there are photos of M24s being landed from LCMs during the Rhine crossing in 1945.

LCM's did land Shermans on Tarawa ..so you could add an M4A2 mid production tank ...Formations has a conversion and he might still have a few decal sheets for these Tarawa tanks left.
