Default RE: New 1/8 Sherman To Enter The Market?

Actually..... the very first part I did cast when starting my foundry work was a 1/10 scale upper hull for a late version M4A1. I have it still. I also have
most all the parts for two different versions: VVSS and HVSS. The very last M4A1 76mm Shermans had HVSS suspensions whiile the ealier one had
VVSS. My hull is quite good however it really was cast like a tank hull, VERY thick, albeit aluminum. Quite heavy.

So yes, a Sherman is definately planned; if there was a reliable model radial engine small enough I'd use it for power. All the better radials are much too large for a 1/10 model.
