ok here is a question ,,,, can anyone tell me the size of the springs needed for the upgrading of the suspension , on the mato Sherman ,
and maybe where to buy them ........ not sure the kit from Japan is the best choice ,,,,,,i have that option but looking for others ,
also looking for a mantle for the tamiya ,75mm cannon not the 105 howitzer ,

hi
I've just finished my Sherman and all the springs and suspension parts I got from this ebay seller. He's in Japan but faster than some UK sellers

I can't find where I got the landing gear straps but I'll PM you when I find it.

The mod is well worth the effort.

cheers
