This build started out as an experiment to see if I could build a HVSS'ed Sherman without having the expense of Tamiya gearboxes/tracks/sprockets.
Ive managed to marry up some secondhand HVSS units to a HL Sherman lower hull, HL gearboxes, HL Pershing sprockets/tracks, HL Sherman upper hull and a Mato turret.
Luckily I had a lot of the parts already, but in all, so far the whole project has probibly cost less than a SINGLE Tammy gearbox

Looks good I like the idea of Pershing sprockets/tracks on the Sherman, how much work was it to put the gear boxes in and what kind did you use ?? (HL Persing gear boxes?)

Thanks

Looks good. Are you bending Styrene rod ?

As I used the HL lower hull the HL gearboxes fitted straight in as all the fixings are already there, I used the short shaft boxes and it all lines up which was a suprise LOL.
@ Dan, My LHS has rod which is a steel rod covered in plastic, perfect.

That looks really good. Think i would like to make one like that. I built an M4A3E2 Jumbo using the Mato ,ower with the Tamiya upper and reworked Mato turret,it came out pretty well. I was wondering which varient i wanted to do when I get my HL Sherman and i think I found it. My son really likes the E8 HVSS system so I may build this one for him.
