looking nice nice clean molding on this tank

does anyone know if you can get 1/32 tank crew figures as the ones in the kit are American I have 1/35 ones would they do or are they too small ?

[Guest]

My opinion is will be too small...anyway you can try to build a figure without glue and show on front of the Sherman....your Kit is old, and sometimes the scale isn't exactlly what they said... ops:

Hope you have luck!!!

Looking good Steve. Are all those sand bags included in the kit or are they aftermarket or scratch built?

nice build Steve , do like the look off that one, and seen to be going together , well , like the sand bags as well,

have fun weathering them,

what type off men were you thing off using , as if there moving beside, the tank you could down set the tank a

little and have like a bit off mound from were the tracks press into the ground, and that would raise up the men

about 5 mm or so and if there ,kind off stooped over running , don,t think you would pick it up,

thanks Monica for the ideas , I am doing a "bocage " type scene and I am working on the base as the paint dries on the tank I plan to use some Normandy troops from dragon following the tank through the hedge , and as you say with the tank in 1/32 and the figures in 1/35 I will have to be careful that they don't look too small

[tanktrack]

I have found some airfix 1/32 British soldiers that may do if they a made well enough , i have measured a 1/35 soldier to the 1/32 American ones in the kit and they are definitely a bit bigger

[Guest]

Looking very good so far, Steve!!!

[tanktrack]

I have got the base under way and some paint on the Sherman the figures are a work in progress
