Hi Chaps,

I've got the Dragon Shereman 111 which I want to set in NWE as a vehicle of the Sherewood Rangers, what I can't find out is:

1) can I fit the open spoked wheels (No reason really, i just like them)

2) which suspension arms do I need to use?

I'm looking at something similar to IWM B 12253

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Craig

Hi Craig, Most photos I've seen show the pressed spoke wheels and some show a mixture of pressed and open spokes. I have found one photo that shows all open spoke wheels, It's not a Sherwood Rangers tank but it shows that they did exist.
AFAIK all Sherman IIIs had straigh suspension arms

Thanks Pat,

No doubt it's back to the 60.000 shermans made and 59,999 were different from each other

cheers

Craig
