Hi daktari ...... oh how I remember the TV show ! .

As for the build on the flail Sherman , photo's and research are the start , the more information the better . Then at some stage you will have to
have the leap of faith and travel down the road of "scratch building" ! . Utilising styrene and brass strip/rod becomes your foundation in turning
your vision into reality , it can be very frustrating and rewarding at the same time . Having an open mind and looking out for everyday items to
convert into parts is a good trick , often doing the weekly shop I find myself casting my eye over all sorts of supermarket items that I can turn
into parts . Sorry its not more help , but we all get to the point where we have to take a deep breath and say if we cant buy it , we make it . !

Good Luck

I think I recall a member on the old rctankhq forum that built one. There may be some YouTube videos of it.
