Not a Sherman, but.....

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Good Morning,
That will be very cool to see and close enough for the builder should always be all that is required. ;o)

:haha: :haha: ..Did you not see the votes :haha: ...I liked the scratch built idea ...but Mato is coming out with a metal version...the Persherman is a cool variant... but since you will be running with Dragon... the best bet would be the 75 :D

See ...simple process of elimination :haha: :haha: ...just kidding fynsdad... you have to be happy with it..so take your time... and hurry up ;) .. :haha:

Hi Nice build Frank ,which type of gearboxes are you using to get the right width(always a problem with smaller types)Or are you going with standard gearboxes and trimming as much as possible to get as close as you can to correct width(like you did with the High speed tractor which was a great build you couldn't tell it was a little wide even the guy who owned a real one didn't spot it).



regards pete

Are you sure about the skirts :haha: :haha: :haha: just kidding fynsdad... she'll look sexier with her legs showing :D

With that said though... are you sure you wouldn't want to do a baby Howitzer variant
