Thanks...figured you made and sold many...but I guess you're right...If someone likes a Sherman...any Sherman could fit the bill :thumbup:

PS. Sure wish some companies would actually make some small hatch versions though ;)

Is that a screen shot from FURY? :think: ...........Dang I don't remember the chair lol....looks like you'll have to do a wash pan too there Frank...Cause that definitely doesn't look like a Bucket ;)


ALPHA

PS. If I may suggest.... a nicely pre shaped piece of blister pack painted silver might do the trick for that wash pan ;)

They'll be going on last when I know that the tracks aren't being removed again and then weathered in the final stage...
