RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

As promised to mr gunner this will become a page show casing my Sherman collection, but before I begin do you want just the tank or do you want my conversion parts in the photos

Starting with the commonwealth first up the m4 not a massive job on this one, just a 3D printed engine deck and some paint. Naturally it had the usual upgrades

Next up, the m4a2. An early production with that new vvs suspension system. A few 3D parts on this one. Engine deck. Mantlet was hand made as were the guards. Small hatch conversion. Radio bustle and vents. The dust suppression canvas is a pillowcase cut to size a died

Next up. The firefly vc. A lot of work went in to this one. First the printed parts. Engine deck, radio bustle, transmission cover. Then the lower hull was cut in to 3 and 20mm added to extend the lower hull to visually the right length. The the glacial plate was altered to give the visually correct angle or near to anyway. After that the turret. Bustle cut off and remade using plasticard and car filler, mato mantlet and barrel.

Next the early a1. This was a Ludwig casting upper. A resin turret and a shapeways suspension print. Unlike the a2 the mantlet on this one is printed along with the skirts.

Most parts that were designed and printed are now available within forum rules as I now have my own printer. If any are needed ask for a list.

The Americans are coming soon

A tip of my hat to you, Brute! I am impressed. You have done so well with those variants, so I am eager to see what you do with some US versions. I would think adding examples of your conversion parts would be fair to do.

Great collection of British Shermans!

Very Nice. Thank you for sharing.

I'm considering an early war Lend/Lease Sherman for Russia.

I am thinking a late m4a2. From information I gathered on early war lend lease a lot of the obsolete m3 lee went to Russia but my information on Russian Sherman’s at the min is limited
