Tamiya 75mm Sherman
Here are some photos of my recently completed Tamiya 75mm Sherman. Turret details modified, Nick Agular's mantlet & barrel, sand skirts removed, and Mato VVSS suspension & tracks.

RE: Tamiya 75mm Sherman
Finally an early version...looks nice, but paint the end connectors. Only place you will see that amount of rust is on museum tanks that haven't moved for years. Also you don't need the star on both turret and sponson. How did the suspension swap work? Did the mounting holes line up or was a bit of modeling required? I'm thinking of doing it the other way 'round.
LOOKING GOOD!! I will post here for all your tanks you posted look GREAT!!

Looks great. I have one of Nick's cast turrets & Chassis waiting for a conversion. Hopefully this winter it will get some attention.
I see you are in New Hampshire, any other tankers in your area?
I'm on the west side of the state. I have a few friends here that use my tanks but no one interested enough to dive into the hobby themseleves.

RE: Tamiya 75mm Sherman
Sir,
Kudos to your fine Sherman! Could you post some links for the turret and mantlet source as well as more pics of the build details if you have any? There are a number of avid/rabid Shermaphiles on this forum that would love to build a classic like yours! I personally want to do a Kelly's Heroes job on my Mato M4.
Regards,
Mike
