Tommy1drops M4A2 Sherman

[Guest]

Looking very good Tommy!!

I can not see exactly (on the box) which kind of camouflage it has. You will paint it with a green colour or maybe on a different scheme?

[Guest]

Hi Polux thank you for that glad you like it, its going to be painted olive drab and in service in Europe, I have seen a few pics of these in British service, so with that in mind, I might go down that route

[Guest]

Tommy most of the tanks left the factory painted OD so if you follow that scheme you can't go far wrong!

[Guest]

Thanks Andy, do you know if the land lease Shermans sent to Russia were left in the factory paint scheme or did they re-paint them?

[Guest]

A total of 4,102 M4A2 medium tanks were sent to the U.S.S.R. under Lend-Lease. Of these, 2,007 were equipped with the 75 mm gun, and 2,095 carried the 76 mm gun. As far as I can see doing a bit of digging in my books they remained OD, but with the two types of gun it opens up all sorts of prospects

[Guest]

Nice one Andy, I`v got the Academy M4A2 Russian Army version in the stash, so I think that one is next.

nice start on it Tommy and you guys move along so fast with your kits, do like it has alot off nice detail to it,

may off missed it but what scale is she ? plz

[Guest]

Hi Monica thanks for that the kit is 1:35 scale.

[Guest]

This is my M4A2 Sherman as it is at the moment awaiting paint, I`m going to be leaving the painting until the next Sherman is built, this also being a M4A2, but the Russian army version sent over to Russia as part of the lend lease program.

Added a few pics, hope you like it so far

[Guest]

Looks good Tommy, I can see a little dio with both Sherman's meeting at the Elbe river!

Cheers Patrick

[Guest]

Hi Patrick, I like that idea for the dio I might just have to give that one a go
