I have to start two new projects and leave for some time Panther and KV-122 projects on the shelf...

So here we are! Now I'm building two M4A1E8 Shermans at a time. One will be mine r/c version for the battling, the other will travel to USA as a static model.
The first task was to get two Tamiya Shermans and that was completed sucesfully:

Image

Image

The r/c version is having now an Impact gearboxes:

Image

Image

Image

Image

And both twins will be on the Impact T-66 tracks:

Image

That wasn't easy to get two Mato upper hulls, but I made it! And I have to clear from it all unnecessary parts:

Image

Image

Both tanks will have a lot of the Schumo parts, i love them quality a lot!

Image

Image

Something assembled...

Image

New hatches:

Spectacular fine-scale work as always, Eddy. Those folding boards are a work of art!
