A very nice Israeli Sherman

Post by wibblywobbly »

I thought this was a good model, a pretty unique and excellent adaptation of a Sherman.

Very nice Sherman  :) and the owner look very proud ( which I can understand ) I just looked through the various pictures of the Sherman reference page, and there is a lot of very nice detailed pictures as inspiration to my upcoming HL Sherman

I've seen pics of this one before, it's a beauty isn't it?

For anybody interested in doing an unusual Sherman, the history of what the Israelis did to them is fascinating and there are plenty of good photos on the internet to work from.

Of course if you want to model something from the "other side" here is an Egyptian T34

when I first saw this picture of the Sherman I thought it was a real one not realising that it was a model, I should have
looked at the background as well, the modeler has done a great job of reproducing an IDF Sherman
