Just in case anyone hasn't had their hands on a Mato Sherman here's a top down view showing the open hatches.

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

Presumably? You will now be building a Tiger 1, on a T34 chassis?Comment

It'd be fun, but no, I don't want to eviscerate two good tanks for the project. Interesting camo, though. Maybe someday.Originally posted by MrChef View Post

I say use a regular Grey Tiger and re create the paint and turret number. Add enough tree branches and no one would be the wiser. Oh, Splash some Pink paint on the back of the Turret. be that guy.Originally posted by SoCalBobS View Post

Who made these figures, and where did you get all the Detail Bits for the Oddball tank?Originally posted by SoCalBobS View PostComment

The accessories are on Cult3D: KELLY'S HEROES SHERMAN ACCESSORIES ODDBALL HENG LONG 1:16
The figures are made by someone on Facebook: search "Charlie Brown". Common name but he is the one in Spain with figures photos on his page.
The decals were made for me by "https://company-b-models-and-miniatures.myshopify.com/"

Thanks Bob. I appreciate this. I sent an email to Co.B and downloaded the 3D file for the accessories. Now, Which Charlie brown in Spain am I looking for? There seems to be a lot of them.Originally posted by SoCalBobS View PostComment

He produces many 3D figures, and has photos of them on his page. Wish I could give you more, but he’s a hobbyist not a business so I gotta respect his privacy.The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!Comment

Gotcha. I found another guy there who "may" make resin figures. I'll see how this goes. Now, I pose a question to you At the end of the movie, Oddball and crew drive off in a Tiger. Now, The war's still going, sooo, That Tiger would to have a face lift. How would you imagine it looking i n American colors, with Oddball's ,um, sense of style?Originally posted by SoCalBobS View PostComment

Well, the colors of the “Tiger” in the movie had non-standard colors, German grey with probably Russian green camo. And there is the pink paint splatter on the turret back. I guess some white stars would fit right in.The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!Comment

I was thinking a full OD green repaint with white stars. Then add all the accoutrements. That would be a " Mother Beautiful" tank.Originally posted by SoCalBobS View PostComment

I did a quick google search for American Tiger tanks. There's a few King Tigers with white stars. I'm sure if you dig you can find others. So, there is precedent. Go for it!The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!Comment
