Okay building a Sherman.I am thinking of doing one from the 4th Tank Bn, 1st Armoured Division, St Lucia Italy 1944. But I just refound a cool pic which has the wheels turning. Might do this one instead.

Yes it is Russian Bob, and thanks Mike, but I think I have one. Saul thanks for straightening that out.How can you tell? I'm Sherman illiterate. So back to plan 1.

Well, it is Russian and they were supplied with the diesel engined Shermans. Telltale signs would be the angle of the rear upper hull (almost vertical) wall, see image:

Fantastic picture James! Great reference for possibile diorama B)


All the best!

I think that picture was taken somewhere in Austria just after the end of the war. DML's Red Army Sherman would be good model for that picture.
 
Okay, have not had a lot of time to model. And really not much to see.But figured I'd post these pics. Still have some filling to do in hull sponson.

Not finding much time to do this.Worked on the turret some and then used Mr Surfacer 500 to give it a casting look.
