My two latest Shermans and their perspective commanders

ALPHA

Looks like their ready for export!!

Where did you get the upper hull for the Sherman on the right, with the blond girl? I'm thinking about (eventually) getting a HL Sherman M4A3 and modifying it into a Firefly. The turret bustle and gun are the easy part, but that seems to be the right glacis for a Firefly. Where'd you get it? Would it fit on a HL M4A3 lower hull?

ENJOY and Good Luck with your build Lert

Hmmm. Forces of Valor 1:16 Sherman, huh. That's outside of the range of my wallet. Guess scratchbuilding is the way to go! You know, when I finally get around to being able to afford the HL Sherman to begin with.

There is also a kit put out by Nick Aguilar...they pop up now and then on Ebay...this one got sold ..but just to give you and anyone else an idea

You can also try and contact TankMad

read my build though...there is a lot to converting the FoV hull....probably just as much as the Nick Aguilar...but at least with the resin version... it comes in a complete package...gunner and driver shields...turret mantlet ..rotor cover ..pretty much everything you need

Though I am not sure what costs translate to in the Netherlands

Good Luck Lert

Though I had my doubts during the process of building these two... I have to admit to liking and enjoying both...especially now that they both have commanders ...as each is one of a kind... they are solid runners...Heng Long did an excellent job with their Sherman

With that said... these two prove with just a little tweaking... anyone can achieve personal goals

Just for anyone Interested... A documentary on Shermans ...this one is pretty well done
