Rob Feehan recreates what might be a little bit of family History with this Sherman V Op conversion. Thanks Rob!

This article is a pleasant surprise! I saw this tank "in person" Wednesday night at the Kansas City AMPS meeting. It's very good -- the photos don't really show all the details Rob added. As a guy who builds lots of Sherman variants, I can honestly say Rob did a super job on this and I'm a bit jealous.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for sharing the pictues, nice clean build and looks excellent. The addition of the 4" Smoke dischargers is a neat addition. It's a pity the company is closed until the fall, they have some good and useful items.

Vinnie, thanks for posting Rob's pictures.

Cheers

Al

Very nice mod. Clean and I love the air recognition star on the turret top. Excellent work.
