      That's a real labour of love there Paul. Very well done indeed. A truly outstanding effort.

      I see the HQ section Shermans are all pulling trailers. Was that standard practice?

      Again, very well done indeed.

        Great stuff Paul. Once again, while most of us model single vehicles, you model whole units!

          Thank you gentlemen.
          Andrew, The 105s for sure, & due to the mix of 75 & 76 it was prudent to have some on hand to prevent overloading the combat elements, as happened often in some units (main gun ammo on the floors & rear decks). I have seen photos of whole platoons of 75mm Shermans w/ammo trailers, where I'm assuming they had an artillery mission.

              Thanks for the info Paul. Something else I've learnt since joining. Keep up the great work.
