Hi All
Never been in too US or UK WW2 tanks I`m normally in to German armor Tigers etc but having way too much time on my hands soon, I picked up this Henglong M4A3 105mm Sherman.
I`v added a brass barrel extension to give it the look of a 76mm gun, the black tracks have been painted (silver base coat with flat earth brown top coat).

Time to get filming after all my Tigers need something too shoot at.

All comments are most welcome.
Cheers Mike T

Well if you want 76mm Sherman you have to swap the turret (i.e. Mato or Taigen) not only the gun ;)

Even then turret and mantlet are different than 105 ;)

Only needs a new mantlet as far as I can tell - M4A3 105's were converted according to http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minu ... 4a3e4.html
