Hey folks Im looking to swap out the mf unit in the m51 I'm building to give me recoil. My question is what engine is the mf-07 from the super Sherman based on? Some people have said the kv-1 mf is a better sound match but want to get some other opinions before I dive in and buy one.

Personally I would use the DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-07) in the Super Sherman. It's what I am using in my Sherman III (M4A2).

I cannot tell what sound they are using... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKbJNNF02xE ... and cannot find anywhere what it's listed as.

I've already got the dmd/mf from the 105mm Sherman howitzer so I can just keep the dmd as they're all pretty much the same. Basically the only detail I really need is if the super sherm sound is a diesel or petrol engine. I'm not too fussed if it's the correct cummins diesel but I want it to sound vaguely correct!

Tom I found this Chart with some info on DMD amd MF matches. Maybe this will help you?

Hey Maus, funnily enough I came across this earlier. Sadly it doesn't give details of the supersherman mfu!

The IDF Super sounds like a regular M4...NOT diesel, as it should.

Bob again you come to the rescue! I guess it's a kv-1 mf for me..

you should use the MFU from the Pershing. that has the recoil and uses the sound of the Ford GAA gasoline engine V8. The Super Sherman is not a diesel so the KV-1 would be incorrect as that is a diesel engine.

Some of the early m50s had a continental diesel engine but all the m51s had a cummins diesel.

Unfortunately the shound for the mf-07 sholud belong to the Cummins engine, but still they used the radial M4 engine sound.

Which is the MF o7 I don't even see one listed. i thought that is what was used on the Leo but that is a self contained unit not 2 separate units. i dont think there is a MF 7

Mf-07 is the one with the super Sherman.

It is listed in the Tamiya Super Sherman Manual/Instructions page 2 of the Parts guide. DMD Multi Function Unit MF-07 Part 17305098. See here....

That is actually the T-07 DMD which uses no separate MF unit. It does have a remote main gun flash strobe power supply instead. The T-07 is also very large and has switches for its many light functions.

Kv-1 MFU will give you a functional brake light as well as recoil.
