I'm using the Tamiya M4 on mine (first time with a Tammy upper). The two E8s and the Tamiya Pershing of mine are all on the stock tracks, but I think some track swaps may be coming!

Tracks are available from Attracks now I believe - around £150/£160.

Some light reading whilst I assist in the school pick up - the magazine feature that gave me the idea for making the Sherman.

No turning back now…

Engine deck cut from the Tamiya and shortly the Taigen.
