Default Persherman

As many of you know, the US army made a test of a T26 turret ( the Pershing one) on a M4 big hatches hull. Fortunately there is a picture of it, even the serial number so I though that would be interesting to build one, now that we have the cheap HL sherman.

I'm attaching a picture, the red arrows show: how I fixed the HL pershing mantlet axis and also note that the engine deck is a A3. I will use other Tamiya hull I bought from AAF with the right radial engine deck.

Commnets are welcomed as this is under construction

Very nice models. But was there a production version?

I think Gareths "production version" is a what-if, which is why it has a bit of nose art and "turk" from Kellys heroes is commanding. It looks the part though, love it.
