Good tip, GG, I checked ebay and found one and it really is good detail. I couldn't find jason's store, though, do you have a link? The only .50 sprue I could find on ebay was twenty bucks.

He's left ebay,

His search functions a bit iffy but if you search the sprue part code you should find it.

He WAS gone from Ebay for awhile, but is now back again. You can also get the .50 cal tree from the Sherman kit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/19225123-Tamiya ... Swo0JWKcdR

That was confusing. He is back but his tank parts tree listings are very small right now. The Sherman tree he lists has the same detailed 50 cal as the Pershing tree but without the other stowage items. Maybe he will build back up to the items he used to have.

Use sassgrunts link to get there. Its got the gun the ammo box holder and 1 ammo box for 11.50 plus shipping.

Hi all, here are some pix of the 3 British Shermans that i have owned recently.

Sherman 1B (M4 - 105mm) - 9th Queens Royal Lancers, Italy, Late 1944. (For Sale)

Sherman 11A (M4A1 - 76mm) - 2nd Battalion, RTR, Italy, Late 1944.
IMG_0923s.jpg
Sherman 111 (M4A2 - 75mm) - 1st Coldstream Guards, 5th Guards Armoured Brigade in NW Europe, Late 1944. (Sold)
IMG_1211.JPG
The Sherman 1B & 11A were built, converted & painted by me. The Sherman 111 'Ginger', was built by Frankie, but i did a tidy up and added new divisional markings.

Ive really enjoyed working on these 3 British Shermans, but have now got to get back to some German armour.

Ooops, Just noticed that ive put the tracks on back to front on the Sherman 1B.

Cheers
Tim
