Anyone Fancy a Sherman Group Build?

it only 2 kits the tamiya or the dragon ken

Jason,

 

Do The Dragon one. I started this one ages ago. It must be about three years ago but stopped when I couldn't find a good colour for the desert tan bit of the finish.

 

Would love to see one of them built.

thanks shaun,

 

i was going to use a mix of vallejo dark sand and iraquian sand for it with a bit of something else mixed in lol

Is it me or is TASCA out-of-stock in all shops on-line. I have tried e-models, relish, models for sale and then hannants who do not even seem to stock them!

 

Anyone help!

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Hi Mark,

 

Relish models have the US M4A1 in stock here

 

I've bought a few things from Graham at Relish, he's a top guy, great service

I agree then Jason - Dragon.

Colourwise, Desert Pink was locally manufactured so gives quite a bit of leeway for your own interpretation. XF-59 Desert Yellow has a nice pinkish tinge to it.

I've built that Dragon kit

 

Be warned the tracks are too long, you'll need to remove a link from each run. Also they tend to bend upwards over the top run so need gluing down, but nothing too taxing

 

For the portland stone, I used vallejo khaki brown with white:

I'm trying to get the bit and pieces for my Cyberhobby IDF M50 - anybody know of any aftermarket products for this, i'm not having much luck finding any.

 

Also, anybody know where i can still get the book titled 'The Lioness & Lion of the Line Vol.1' by Dr. Robert Manasherob - seems to be out of publication now and i can't find anywhere - it looks to be a good source material for my M50.

Chris - I've long fancied scratchbuilding a 1/15 M51 but that might be a bit ambitious

 

Failing that I have a few 1/35, 1/72 and 1/76 Shermans in the stash so should be able to come up with something to do

 

 

Patrick - these any help? M50
