Which conversion kit on the HL Sherman?
Now that HL has put out their Sherman, which conversion kit based on that tank would you like to see coming from usual producers next?
For me it would be nice to see an M10 wolverine kit (including upper hull).

How about just a 75MM turret!
Otherwise a Lee for sure, then maybe a Grant turret.
What I would really go for is an M60 to go against a T55.

A Firefly with a cast hull or hybrid hull, M10 or M36 and a E2 Jumbo

A Lee/Grant would be great, but a conversion kit with proper tracks is unlikely (never seen one so far...). The hull would definitely be possible, though.

I agree completely... Lee/Grant

John, You can do the E4 using Hunnicutts line drawings and Pershing suspension. Now that plenty of Shermans are avaialable, just a matter of lots of time. I did my T-25 that way.

Definitely an M10 turret and hull, an M3 Lee / Grant, and a M4 early style (small hatch) hull.
