Default Sherman Help....

Hi Everyone,
Its been awhile since I have been on here .. gotta say the new format of the forum threw me a bit.....

My question is I have just brought this resin kit from Nick Aguilar and I am wondering could I use it to build a IDF M1 using a Tamiya lower hull and standard suspension or what other shermans could I build with it.
Sorry everyone for my dumb questions but I am not up with all the sherman variants....

Thanks everyone any advice welcome,

Cheers Ken

Thanks heaps edoubleaz appreciate it.......
Also I should have asked this in the first post but what would the base colour have been for the tank ... Sand colour or the green..?

You want to build the M4A1E8 which was in service with IDF I have done and a large tutorial.
http://www.modelersite.com/en/112143...df-service-r-c

There are references showing the tank in green as I did, but during the six day war they were painted in the IDF desert yellow a mix of XF-59 and XF-57 buff

You could use what you have there and make this tank:


M4A1E8

Like mine:



http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-t...man-build.html

Or the Oddball tank from Kelly's Heroes




using the kit's upper & lower hull and turret, Nicks mantlet and the Mato VVSS plus some other minor details.

Or just a plain ole Sherman right from the box:

Also you can use a HL chassis with the Nick's T23 turret for a M4A3
