ORIGINAL: sassgrunt

What were you in life before you became a tank builder, Tony? A salesman? Good job - I'm definately going to buy some of these!
LOL! Glad you'll find use for it! Like I said previously, the chrome ones would be better, provided there isn't a drastic price difference. At any event, still comes out a lot cheaper than buying Tamiyaala cartejust for head lights.

Joe, I don't have the Mato Sherman, so I can't be totally sure, especially since the Mato is supposedly scaled differently??? . But thesprue'sin this kit may work, as long as you're willing to deal with the circular pattern in the lens that's more common in tail lights instead of the cross hatch lines....but they'lldefiantlywork for the KV-1(but the horizontal bar that goes across the tail light will need to be made) and likely the HL Pershing too as well as it's tail lights. If I remember correctly, the Sherman and Pershing both share the same kind of head lights and tail lights....I think.

Here's a photo of the smallest lens in the kit up against my Tamiya Pershing and HL KV-1.

Also I must add, as you can see in the close up of the lenses. They're a bit hazy and not totally crystal clear....kind of like they're already aged. They aren't made using the same materials commonly made for headlights, they're some sort of translucent high impact plastic.....so if all nothing else, if you damage your tank in a crash...well, atleast you know the headlight will make it. lol<br type="_moz" />
