Hello, gentlemen!
So it happens, that I bought another American tank. It's partly built Tamiya Sherman with Mato turret. And I decided to try to make the Fury so close to the movie tank as I could:





Nick's resin and tracks like in the movie:









Some bits from the Schumo kits:











Some soldering and scratch as always:

Following along.

yep luvin this build.

More! Slightly confused by the 'Pershing' box, though, or is that just for storage? I know the Pershing and Sherman had quite a few parts in common...it made economic sense, but does that apply here too..transferrable parts, I mean?

Good morning,
A lovely build, Eddy! I love the Schumo parts. 'Maxene' is festooned with them and they really add working realism. 43rd, yessir, many of the detail Schumo and Tamiya parts for the Sherman and Pershing can be used on either build.
regards and following along,
Painless

Thanks everyone for the comments!

I bought these tracks from the Mitosal as Sherman tracks and they fit very good!
Yes, the Schumo parts seems just perfect! I bought some for the Panzer IV and they are excellent quality, too!!

Quality stuff going on Eddy. Will all the Tamiya gear fit in the turret?

I think yes. There's only recoil unit missing, everything all is in it now...

Thanks for clearing that one up, Eddy, Painless, and Maj.General Ubiquitous! I guess I shall have to get, or build, a Sherman sometime..but it MUST be Firefly compliant though.. and I really must try these schumo speciality parts, when I do. What a difference they make, eh? I shall follow your progress with great interest, Eddy.
