Easy 8 Schematics

Post by dgsselkirk »

Hey guys, looking for some help. I am after schematic drawings of the Sherman M4 easy 8 side and top view. I am subscribed to blueprints.com but they only have one with the sandshields on it. So maybe a kits instructions have it that someone could scan and send to me? any help most appreciated! :-)

Kit drawings are all that the blueprints.com have to offer? And most of those I wouldn't touch with a copy of George Bradford... That I wouldn't be holding on my hand, more like held at arms length with my nose held...

Isn't the Tamiya M4E8 105 what you want? extrapolate from there based on photos? M4E8's were in short supply and not sure many had those skirts?

They have vector files but not of the M4A3E8. Not sure what you mean by an M4E8 105?

The 105 that Tamiya sells is just a plain M4 105 with the E8 suspension (it's just the HVSS upgrade that's designated E8). Making it an M4E8 105

Will this picture help with scaling on the side view.
