Wow it runs well in the snow ,I tired a Tiger 1 and it stopped in about 5 mins tracks clogged up.Very nice model indeed but not cheap to buy.

Very nice indeed,were you able to build in turret rotation and elevation as well? Nice tank one of a kind for sure. Sax

Yes the turrent rotates , gun elevates and if you look at the video you can see the recoil on the bbl as well.

The first video is the TaMato Sherman, the second is the FOV Diecast.

The Sherman has way less trouble in the snow then the German tanks. Those overlapping wheels cause havoc.

My bad right you are,very impressive Sherman.I like the recoiling effect with tank movement,to bad someone has not figured a way to create that effect from any turret position, Sax
