I've found THREE additional Polish sheets - from ARMO. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there are no DVs included. Unfortunately, the M4a2 is a rich source for Polish use, but i'm damned if I can find the references for the DVs. Here though is the ARMO page: http://www.jadarhobby.pl/armo-c-20_97_346.html?page=1&sort=2a As to references, here's a series which I believe covers the DV: http://www.jadarhobby.pl/pegazbis-c-323_384.html I'll have a think and get back to you on this...

Paul, I found a couple: ZNICZ - T151315 3 Sqn Krechowiecki lancers in 1945 still with M3 Bogies (Polish Shermans Vol 1 page 6 (another cammed unnamed of Capt Stanislaws at Piedemonte page 7). This pic is also in Vol II in a larger size MARS - 6 AR in two tone with green applique als in the Piedemonte area (no idea of running gear) page 56 Vol II. Taifun on page 57 may also be a DV but with M4 suspension GUIZIL RIBAT of CinC 2 polish AB in two tone cam page 28 of Militaria 99 M4 Sherman Vol II. I'll go through my collection and see what else turns up (Check your email as I've sent you some pics). There are both types of DV's in service - Those with M3 suspension and those with M4 suspension. There is a mix of 3 pc and 1 piece tranny covers and some of the M4 suspension is on vehicles with 3 pc trannies. Quite a mix of schemes including the parade at Loretto. The Sikorski institute collection is full of them. Al Cheers Al

I have Volume II of Polish Shermans, and "that" photo says it is two color with the lower hull and bogies sand colored !! I'd love to see a color plate of that machine. It seems it has the narrow shield also. I guess the Tasca DV with the M3 boggies might be a good one for that machine. I'd be interested to hear what you think the one with later boggies would be a good match for, as I also have the decals for QUIZAL-RIBAT I seem to remember seeing a pic of that Shermie at Loreto also..... Now where was that ??? Cheers Paul Edit just got your e-mail... ZNICZ does look cool with the contrast between the Green all over and the sand colored boggies and hull lower (behind the bogies). And QUIZAL-RIBAT at Loreto looks great !! I'm still looking for a good clear DV with M4 boggies though (and one I have decals for !!, he, he). Cheers mate, you're the best !!

i just got an email that my preorder shipped. i am siked

got my kit today. i looked over it and found that tasca put a lot of english text in the instructions. i am siked, it will make it easier for me

My kits arrived too... Nice.... Pretty psyched too I guess, need to build the other Tasca kits on the bench first Cheers Paul

If someone that has recieved their kit could photograph the glacis that would be appreciated. I'm curious to see how they got the weld layouts. Cheers Al

Hope this helps Al Cheers Paul

did anyone else choose the 35-L8 1/35 Browning M2 Machine Gun Set A w/tripod as their free gift item? i chose that one and was surprised to see that i got enough pieces for 2 complete guns. i thought it was one gun http://www.tasca-modellismo.com/seihin/m2hb/m2hba.html the first picture shows two guns, but i assumed it was to show different options anyway, i will probably be working on the sherman next. i am currently building the tasca sherman firefly.
