1/87 scale 1944 Sherman tank company

[minitnkr]

Decal session, usually before CITB additions. Clockwise from top left: LVT4, M4 trying out Mr Putty, four M4s from HQ Pltn., M3A3, & M4A3E8. Reg. #s are teeny tiny. C&Cs welcomed.

Keep up the good work.

Lovely group of Shermans Paul, heard you put the dio out on the clothes line. The spin dry must have knocked off some trees. :smiling6:
Stop driving your sons car...can you see I'm envious already.:smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard. My sons are not car nuts like me. They appreciate them, but more as tools than thrill rides. Driving other than WOT is a courtesy to others:smiling5:.

Working Sherman Company. HQ Pltn. seems to be short a Jeep.

Possible 1st Pltn.

Possible 2nd & 3rd Pltns.

It would appear more the just a jeep.........I count seven trailers in that box and you have a jeep a track and a truck.......will the Shermans be towing the rest of the trailers? Nice accumulation of "Force" Paul, are the sand bags made from putty? they turned out well.....noticed the recovery and dozer vehicle, will you be adding a Maintenance Section as well? Hope to see more on this soon. Keep up the good work! :thumb2:

Thanks. These are meant to represent a company in an Inf. Div. attached Medium Tank Battalion. The admin./supply truck pulls the water trailer. The M32, track & jeep w/respective trailers are the Maint. Sect. The two HQ 105mm M4s tow their ammo trailers, & the two HQ M4s tow 76mm & 75mm ammo trailers. The painted sandbags are modeling clay. The unpainted are pewter aftermarket. Still unsure of keeping 76mm as AT pltn. or spreading them out among the three platoons. The two plows are one scratch & one aftermarket. Helpful for inf. support. They usually only had one 105M4 & most had no plows or Jumbos, but this unit has an exceptionally talented scrounger in admin.

That is going to be quite a parade!

Good looking stuff Paul. Nice to see your desk is as big a tip as always…..your car though, that’s immaculate! Great looking brute isn’t it.

[minitnkr]

It is Tim. Got to put 900mi. on it during a trip to Buffalo NY. Once past 900mi. on the odometer I opened it up to the red line through the first four gears several times. Many smiles per mile.
