Hi Frank you make the small hatch conversion look so easy . Most guys would run a mile . will this one be up for sale soon.

She will be Pete..I was toying with keeping her but the wife wants a weekend away..lol

Would you show us how you make the small hatch front?
are you scratching the whole glacis hoods and hatches or are you reusing aything?
looks so good.

Im basically rebuilding the whole front using plasticard and filler...the only parts reused are the headlights...

So do you have scale plans for the front hoods and hatches or are you guestimating the sizes?

by dong this, you can actually build an early m4a2 as the marines used exclusivly in the pacific until the m4a3 76 was the only tank they could get. Ive thinking of converting a nick m4a3 early hull into an a2 hull to do just that.

love your work.

Ive done a couple of A2'ish builds...not 100% accurate but near enough for me...

Forces of Valor made a nice small hatch Sherman in 1/16 scale. I turned it into a Firefly. Sure would be nice if someone brought this hull back to life.

I did my small hatch Firefly using the same method as all the others Ive done..and was pleased with how she came out..
