Hi everyone
I think I have sown you some of my little Sherman projects.
I spend some time on them (and a ton of money)
Well lets start with what should become a flail
I had a resin upper hull that I was planning on juicing for that, but knowing the sherman V had a longer hull I measured one of my old 1/35 scale models and extended the lower hull in advance.
Later I found out that the resin upper was to short so I did the sensible thing and cut the shit out of it and made some some new sides.
And because of the extended hull I also added a set off track tensioners.
Well next up is my firfly.
I had a fully printed hull but I just couldn't get anything in it, and well I had a spare lower.
So again I cut away half the tank to make it nicely fit.
But now she fits nice and tight.
And with the turret mounted.
Back of the turret also needed some work because the roof armour needs to slope down in the back, but after all the cutting that was no problem
And finally what will one day be my sherman grizzly firfly
But that's for an other day.
Greetings Tim

Given the level of skill shown in your 'cruiser tank' thread, Tim, it will be very interesting to see what you can do with the Sherman Firefly

In the middle of the first picture, maybe a flail...
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...
