  • Number 13...

    Yeah... trying to find a broken Sherman for parts didn't work. Nor did sourcing all the parts to do what I want make economical sense. I did however receive a nice bonus from work... so I pulled the trigger on a complete Sherman. Steel gears, metal tracks and drive wheels. Running TK6.0S. For a mere $210...

    Now to decide... scratch-build a Lee (Hey, it's basically a big box...) or go for Vandra's kit...

    Oh, and if someone does have a poor broken Sherman that needs home; I still want a BARV...
    Sherman M4A3 105mm Houwitser / Sherman Firefly IC *under construction* / Panzer IV *awaiting side-grade from TK7.0S to TK6.0S* / Stug III / King Tiger / KV-1 *awaiting upgrade to TK6.0S* / Tiger I / T34-85 / Leopard 2A6 *waiting upgrade to TK7.0*... No, I do not have a problem....

    I starred building an M3. Got the body mocked up partially with cardboard Then vandalism released the m3 urethane kit so I just bought that and tossed my cardboard mock up.long time ago. Traded the Lee to a club member.

      You mean Vandra? Yeah... I'm still pondering boths options... and I kinda like the challenge of scratchbuilding. We will see...

        The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!
