Shermanapalooza sign up list.

Please drop in here quickly and let me know what kit and scale you will be building.

Hi Gary

Sadly I can't fit a Sherman into my build schedule this year, unless I'm asked to review one.

However I'm more than happy to help out and offer advice.

Simon

Velikye Luki using Tasca 35011 Firefly with cast cheek armour.

and/or

Unspecified M4A3E2 using Tasca 35021 with 76 mm and M2 .50 cal conversion.

 

How did this "sneak" in here? I thought North Africa Steel was up next?

Easy to combine the two Mark! I have two Shermans to depict as Wilts Yeomanry tanks  

Thinking about doing one of these and putting back into U.S. Army markings.  It's really just a M4A1 late

North Africa Steel is up as the end of the year Group Build that will start on December 1st. I am sorry for any misunderstanding or confusion on that. But if you or anyone else has spent money on a kit or accessories, have no fear, it is coming very soon.

Hmm... interesting developments on the Sherman front. This weekend I spent a little bit of time updating a spreadsheet of kits and their required AM goodies. This was prompted by this group build as I wanted to check which extras the Firefly or M4A3E2 would need. Anyway, long story -> short; I asked GF if she could choose a number. She replied with 44. 44 just happened to equate with row 44 on the spreadsheet and I was going to use the number chosen by her as a quick build for this week. Well, she chose a Tasca M4A3E8!

I'm now in a bit of quandry, do I start it now or do I wait until next week?

Wait until next week   . I thought I had my model picked out and then Graham from resicast releases not one but two DD shermans , he needs a good smack !

Yeah I saw those to. I'm having to be strict with the CC at the moment so I've had to pretend they don't exist, even if they do look to be rather superb.

I could just carry on with one of the shelf-queens I suppose... But not the Maus! We've had a falling out over the awful kit tracks  

Finally decided, Israeli M4 A1 76mm Suez Crisis from a Trumpeter 72nd kit. I hope to complete a series of 72nd Israeli Shermans before next Sept.

Hope to have some photos soon.
