I have been a 1/16 tanker for a number of years. I enjoy the painting aspect and weathering of tanks. I need to get better at mods. I typically build modern tanks but just bought my first HL Sherman. My uncle was a tank commander in one in WW 2. I wanted to replicate him on his tank. Does anybody know if HL will be producing a Bradley IFV that would be more accurate than Cool Banks?

I doubt HL would do one. HL tanks need to shoot BBs for them to consider building them. There are two other options. DKLM RC makes a Bradley, but it's expensive and probably OK if you build it straight from the kit. Then there is the 3D printed one from Inkor which requires a printer and a bunch of work to make it look nice.

Hello and welcome, quietly lurking pacmetalman! I see that tankme has already given you a more helpful response than could I. However, we sure would enjoy hearing about your Sherman. Perhaps you are planning a repaint, markings, and/or some weathering to replicate the tank of which your uncle was commander. Indeed, photos (including any of your uncle and his tank) would be most welcome, so share them if you wish.
