I might be looking into a soldering station. Whoa... that looks like this Sherman will be loaded with brass! Not planning on a lot of PE work but you never know when it'll be needed.

Well, seeing as I still owe Jeff "PantherF" a build from his recent Armorama Sherman campaign, this might just be the push I need to finally get it started! (Planned on building the M4 with M26 turret, but lost my handy bag of round tuits...) The donor kit will be the M4A3 105mm (with a rear-end conversion back to radial engine courtesy of the spares box) and a Hobby Boss turret. I've wanted one ever since I saw Panzerserra's excellent build!
Awe, shucks. No one owes me anything. It's all for fun because I know that real life and other things come up and get in the way. Happens to me more than I want to admit it too. Sometimes I'm like a kid in a candy store with big eyes, big hands but no money!
Build it if you can but if not we'll do it the next time around. I'm still scratching my head on what to do for this build.

Can I ask where you got yours Gary?
Jeff
Sorry for the late response Jeff. I got it from Sprue Bros. courtesy of my sis for like $12 bucks. I think their out of stock now though.
I need to stop by Hobby Lobby and see if they have any Tamiya Shermans. All the ones on eBay want an arm and a leg which is what I thought the DML kits would go for but it's the opposite.
What I want is a late A3 Tamiya Sherman and a resin M4A2 conversion kit.
I was at my local hobby lobby last night and didn't she any Shermans on the self,
Yeah, me too John, Jeff. Been to 2 different Hobby Lobby's in last month or so and its nil on a Sherman, in fact it looks like they've nearly scrapped all there armor. They have less than a 1/3rd of what they stocked in armor 5 years ago.....around here anyways.
