Frankie that is one beautiful paint job and the shading is top notch!

Now that is something I really have to do in the future; it looks brilliant Frank.

lovely tank, looks great!

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

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


..and here's "Lucy Sue"

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

[frankie]

....these are heavily modified Heng long Sherman's, with rebuilt or replaced parts..

[aikmanmosquito]

Where's the best and cheapest place to buy one of these Shermans?

[frankie]

You can get a base HL Sherman with 2.4g radio on eBay for £104 inc post...

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

[frankie]

...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...
