I like this one, lots of Shermans! Welcome to the forum Jan. You have plenty of company in choices and "seniority". Look forward to pictures of your work when you get around to figuring that out. I started with 5 M4 variants, have about twice that now (only two M4A3 VVSS, two others if you include a -E2 and a -E8 if that helps).

Again, welcome aboard!

Welkom!

:wave: I count eleven tanks, Jan! What a great start on serious addiction. :P And that is true praise from a U.S. nut case who has lost count! :crazy: Join the fun! (I saw your post about the FlySky iS6. I have that transmitter, but I am not nearly electronically knowledgeable enough to answer your question.)

Welcome from Ontario, Canada! I've lived most of my life in the Ottawa area so I've seen many many tulips gifted to Canada from your country. Would love to see a pic of your Sherman in its Canadian markings!

Hello and welcome from Scotland. My interest was indeed piqued, when I saw Challenger, and Chieftain. Not a mention of a Tiger either.
