Dear Sherman Friends.
May I present my first wip to this site.Im using the Dragon 1.35th kit Sherman m4 Normandy.Im very interested in Shermans in uk service and have a soft spot for the 33rd armoured brigade who used the m4 welded hull or Sherman 1 in British parlance.
The kit goes together very well and ive scratchbuilt a stowage shelf on the engine deck but am unsure of its true nature as pictures are very thin on the ground of this particular Sherman.The tanks name is Helmdon and is from the Northamptonshire yeomanry of the 33rd armoured brigade.This division was the only unit that used the m4 welded hull apart from a few from first tank brigade of the 79th armored division.Its uncertain if first tank brigades tanks ever landed at Normandy or were given to other units as they were predominantly seen in pre d.day training for landing craft drill etc.
Anyway hope you like my British Sherman 1.
All the best to all
