Lots of great new for the Allied Modellers :-) :-) :-)
Some questions on the Sherman 105mm Mk IB.
I have the old Tamiya kit I originally built as an American vehicle and I have the major parts of the Italeri M4 (Marines) that I robbed the deep wading trunks from.
At some point I'd like to do a Polish or Canadian 105mm and wondered what parts if any I might be able to salvage from these two kits?
If I read the latest Post from Formations correctly I could use the lower hull and suspension system from the Italeri kit and go with their conversion kits?
Would that be best, or are there any usable parts from the Tamiya kit that I could match with the Italeri kit. I have the various bits of left over hull and stuff from the VCs and Tamiya builds.
Alternatvely what would need to be changed on the new Dragon or Academy kit to make it a Mk IB. Both have the later type of suspension but I have plenty of wheels and suspension units. I don't know if any of the commonwealth units were ever issued with the later version of the 105mm but I some how doubt it that would be much too easy :-) :-) :-)
Not a tomorrow project but with the issue of the new kits I thought I better start and gather some information now.
Now we have a plastic dozer blade I wonder if we might see a Sherman Dozer some time in the future from Academy :-) :-) :-) - go on - make my day :-) :-) :-)
Thanks folks
Al
