I just hollered to my missus ' hey babe there's a tank named after you' she came running through saw the pics and went 'ahhh that's nice' , 'is it real?'
me: 'no, its on a floor, it's like my ones that I have'
missus:' ahh what a shame its such a good looking tank'

lol :D

Ive done a couple of other "Lucy's"...(I take it that's the wife's name, not "Lucky"..)

Great looking Sherman, can I ask who manufactures these Shermans and where can I buy one? Just new to the RC tank scene, bought my first one last September a Taigen TIger, however I am a Sherman fan and am desperate for one

One last question, I take it these 'basic' Shermans can be heavily modified? gearboxes running gear and tracks could be changed? I've seen other Heng Long Shermans with metal tracks already installed, but read they have white metal gearboxes, compared to the newer 'black gearboxes. Can't make up my mind whether to buy the basic and upgrade over time

...if youre going to get metal tracks at some point you may as well get them at the start...ok it may have white metal 'boxes but run them till they break and then replace with steel ones... :thumbup:
