    1/87 scale 1944 Sherman tank company

    This project will represent a Sherman tank company of 1944 in 1/87 scale. Here errors are displayed. Original ROCO M4 on right has incorrect rear deck for radial engine. My attempt at 105mm Sherman. It still has wrong rear deck for A3 as they had Ford liquid cooled engines. My WIP attempt at M4A3E2. This should be much closer. Big job, as this company is fat at 19 Shermans due to extra 105mm.

        A nice start indeed. That's a lot of Shermans. Will be looking forward to this come along.

                            Will probably reuse the 'The Big Picture' dio I used for the US Engineers and German big dios.
