Hey I’m heading down to the US Army Armor and Cavalry Collection at Fort Benning for the model show today, last year I did a detailed walk around of quite a few of their pieces.

If anyone wants me to do a walk around for a vehicle not on here that they have, or if you want some pictures of a specific nook and cranny, let me know. I can’t remember exactly what they have, but I’ll try and look for it.

Had a good time, saw some models (and some nicely painted HLs) met a guy with a 1/3 scale RC Sherman, took a video of the new (to me) Jagdpanther on display, and got politely questioned about whether or not I was a spy for a foreign government.

Interesting vid of the Jagdpanther thanks for posting it

Here’s a video of the 1/3 scale Sherman.

The guy was so nice and happy, let kids get inside of it and take pictures. Has a gas engine in the back that charges a large 12v battery. Controlled with a FlySky. Has an air cannon that he loads with baby powder to simulate cannon smoke.

He said that it’s a scaled up 1/10 Sherman model, all of it is 3D printed from PLA+ with the exception of drive chains, motors, bearings, and some bolts. No wood, expect for a plywood floor for support when kids get in it.

One of these times I'll get out to the east coast and see the collection during one of the open houses.

That Sherman is pretty impressive
