As if I don't have enough of them--actively on the bench, shelf queens, and kits in the stash. Apparently I don't have enough, because I just added a couple more. What is more insane, though, is that both of them will require another Academy M3 Lee or Grant kit. One of them is a T10 Shop Tractor, or M3A1 Canal Defense Light. The Resicast turret is here, John Rybak at Formations has been alerted to make a new mold and cast up a resin M3A1 cast hull, and an inexpensive Korean home-market Lee is on the way. That one ought to be a relatively straightforward build, which will be a nice change after the Madill and M31 Treadway Bridge carrier are done. The second one was just added to the list a little while ago, thanks (or not...) to Dragon USA. I bagged another Sexton SPG on their 35% off sale, and that one will get earmarked to do a Yeramba. If you're asking yourself what the hell is that, you're not alone. It's really obscure, like a whole dozen built. The Australians built them post-WW2, essentially a Sexton fighting compartment grafted onto the front of a diesel Grant (thus, I need yet another Academy kit...and a couple of M4A2 sprues from Asuka, too, I imagine. Welded front end, riveted back end, really weird. I do love the variety of the extended Sherman family...
