As a new guy am I really impressed with this forum friendly very knowledgeable "Shermanites".
My main niche in the Sherman world are the French Shermans why? Well their markings are quite different than anything else that I have seen and also very colourful compared to many others.
So for a while now have I been researching and "dreaming" about which ones to build.
First the kits:
Tasca:
M4A2 (2)
M4 A1 Late (2)
M4 A3 76 W (2)
M4A3E2 Jumbo (1)
M4A3E8 (1) I hope to be able to convert it to M4A3 105 HVSS.
Dragon:
M4A1 76 (2)
M4 105 (1)
Add to that a lot of Panda tracks and metal barrels some books and decals from Bison,TL-Modellbau and Peddinghaus, and I am ready to go ahead.
First about the decals. I am not sure that the Bison markings are correct always for instance. La Moskowa a M4 105 from 501 RCC has it name in green. According to the info I have should it be in blue.Luckily for me is the La Moskowa on a sheet from Peddinghaus, with the name in blue....
All these decals gives me a lot of options which ones to build.
I have already made up my mind on which ones in a few cases.
M4 105 La Moskowa from 2/501 RCC.
M4A1 76 St Malo from 4/2 Cuir
M4A1 76 Leopard from 2/1 Cuir
The rest is "open" for discussion as they say.
The Jumbo is a special I have decided which one I want to do but I havent got the markings yet.
I want to build it as Lt Falgayrac from 2/2 RCA.
Thats it for the moment.
But I must confess that I also have a few Fireflys also. But they are on backburner at the moment.
