1/87 scale 1944 Sherman tank company

[minitnkr]

This project will represent a Sherman tank company of 1944 in 1/87 scale. Here errors are displayed. Original ROCO M4 on right has incorrect rear deck for radial engine. My attempt at 105mm Sherman. It still has wrong rear deck for A3 as they had Ford liquid cooled engines. My WIP attempt at M4A3E2. This should be much closer. Big job, as this company is fat at 19 Shermans due to extra 105mm.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

All Good Stuff Paul, those are some "kick ass" vehicles my friend.......have you read Armored Thunderbolt by Steve Zaloga? best book out there on Shermans as far as I'm concerned. Keep it coming!! Rick H.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Very nice Mr. Paul....is there a diorama in their future? Love the "crapintheback Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Will probably reuse the 'The Big Picture' dio I used for the US Engineers and German big dios.

 

[Mini Me]

Can't go wrong there. Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks Rick. It's a bit shopworn (stored hanging up in the laundry room), so will need to add some more trees/undergrowth.
