By the way fynsdad... as far as using the Jackson turret..... it could be just me ... but I tend to like this version a little better

Gotta hand it to you guys, those really are the only pics Ive ever seen that have partial skirt fitments............dont get me started o the blatant plagarism of the "Scam-bush " camo job though!!

Knew you would like em Herman I think if you hadn't said never.... those pictures may have stayed elusive

Two votes for the 75mm ...I asked one who is very special to me... the one who I have sub named my Shermans after... she doesn't know tanks that well... but knows what she likes... and has no biases ...so I asked her to help out... she said both the Persherman and the 75mm were nice lol..... but her personal feeling is that she is leaning towards the 75...she likes the look... ...which means you might have to go with those dots if you do go in that direction
I like the idea of the 75...because I do like the firefly
As a BONUS...look what I found ... three more Shermans... partially skirted

Jeez Alpha, theres more 'partial skirts' to choose from than a Kings Cross hooker !!!!
Firefly gets my vote for what its worth...............at least it has a descent chance of getting an effective hit before its own light armour becomes a target as is the norm.

It's funny how they keep popping up now...so far everytime I've googled Sherman... there is at least one

Fynsdad has already made a fine Firefly...which was promptly snatched up by a board member.... I think the variant he is referring too is a Pre Firefly... as it doesn't feature the square loaders hatch... but it does still have the low bustle turret... and a storage or extended radio box attached to the rear of the turret ...I really hope fynsdad considers it...as it is a very obscure and interesting variant

Have a good one Herman
