Re: What to do with this.
Exhibitedbrute, that's a cast-hull, cast turret Sherman (or whatever commonwealth army tank you make of it). Where did the upper hull come from? It does not look like the old plastic Mato one. I still long for a cast hull/cast turret Sherman, despite money being tight just now.

It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Re: What to do with this.
That’s the problem I’m having mr gunner. I can find plenty of photos of the grizzly with both 75mm and 17pdr formats. Largely of the same tank. But they are all in the Canadian training/proving grounds. I can find the composite with photos in Europe. Again largely the same tank but not enough were made to warrant cutting it up to make one best I can tell.
So the choices are a late American 75mm or a late South African 76mm

The Churchill has found its slippers, here’s a teaser of 2 project I have been working on under the radar that are just awaiting a Clark’s board and some weathering of some discription.
The a1 by the way is having its original turret put back on and the metal one is going on an a3

Re: What to do with this.
There's a least one Grizzly that went to Europe, I've seen a picture of it, I probably saved it but not sure if I can find it in all my pics. It probably had the dry pins tracks and the special sprocket.Son of a gun-ner wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 4:55 pmNot sure how that would be possible as not a single Canadian Grizzly made it to Europe. There is NO evidence. Contrary to some peoples claims who haven't shown a shred of evidence.Exhibitedbrute wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 2:08 pm Although as the Canadian firefly will be covered in Churchill tracks
Although a composite would be feasible.
