Only thing slowing me down is stopping to paint all the piece before I attach them . Actually the speed with which I can do these is really a tribute to how well Tamiya manufactured these kits. Very precision made, clean castings with no flash. Everything fits perfectly on 1st try. Their 1:35 armor line is fabulous. Mark, yes, there are scads of extras to hang on the tank, ammo cans, helmets, tank tread links, boxes, etc. Going to be fun loading her up for battle. 😁 Edited April 13, 2020 by Jack12477 mtaylor, Canute, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack12477 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share #63 Posted April 14, 2020 Ok, Lou, I did the rest of the tank after supper tonight The basic tank is finished. Up next is camouflage, add all the extra gear needed for combat mission. finish the 3 infantry figures that go with the kit. Basically 4 sprues worth of fiddly bits to add to the tank. And then the hard part, coming up with a suitable display format for it. Compared to my other tank models in my collection, this one is tiny, even for a model. Fixing the figures to their respective posts. Assembled tank tread (one of two) Turret prior to installing on tank Tank upper body half Lower body half with tank treads installed Upper and Lower body halves glued together Turret attached Finally all parts together Stay tuned while I work on the extras. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, BLACK VIKING and 10 others 13 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sherman was primarily an infantry support tank and as such performed quite well. Even the Russians seemed to like it even though they has access to their very capable T-34. The Shermans also did quite well against the earlier German tanks from much the same design period like the Panzer IV. Later, after Normandy when faced with the Tiger and Panther not so well, at least not when confronted 1:1. And, very specifically, the 105mm howitzer tank was used in the assault to counter obstruction, pillboxes and other barriers to infantry assaults (and for blasting through dragon's teeth to some extent. Also, to be fair, American tanks were never sent out on a 1:1 basis; the smallest tank maneuver unit was the Platoon, 4 tanks. This is where the inaccurate adage of "it took 4 Shermans to take out a Tiger" stems from. The grunts on the MLR would report a tank to their front. Higher would then send out whatever the next Platoon of tanks were attached. The grunts did not much distinguish between tanks, so a whole Platoon of tanks would be sent out whether it was a Pz 38t, a Pzkfz III, a Marder, or a King Tiger. It was on the treadheads to figure out how to reduce the problem when they got there. And now, back to your regularly-scheduled gluing of plastic. popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnMac82 Posted April 14, 2020 Share #65 Posted April 14, 2020 5 hours ago, Jack12477 said: But only a couple of figures have the pre-molded on leather helmet, everyone else is helmetless Plenty of documentary photos of TCs (Tank/Track Commanders) and Loaders with steel pots on when poked out of the turret. If they "button up" they will ditch the pots, either hangign them on some feature on the turret roof, or cramming them into some corner of the turret. Now, since this a 105mm vehicle, they are more likely to be standing off reducing obstacles at a suitable distance, rather than wading on into rifle range. Not that they didn't, just that they did not have to. Now, the TC is more likely to be scanning about with binoculars than the loader, but there is no reason the loader couldn't be looking further out, either. But, it might be worth putting a bino case on the turret roof (if you have one laying about) to show how the loader grabbed up the glasses in their case to start scanning. The loader's side of a Sherma has a bunch of places you could hang stuff on a strap that you could sinch up to keep from swinging about while on the march. lmagna, Canute and popeye the sailor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDW Posted April 14, 2020 Share #66 Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Jack Love your modeling subject, the M4A3 Sherman. I recently picked up a copy of the M-50 Isherman, an Israeli adaptation of the venerable Sherman chassis that served well during early middle eastern conflicts in the 1960's. Back some years ago when we had a strong local IPMS modeling club, a number of por members were huge armor fans, and I always enjoyed seeing their amazing work with WW2 armor. The Sherman was always a favorite modeling subject due to the many significant variations it took on during WW2. Here is a good, short, 5 minute video of the various Sherman tanks to serve in WW2. lmagna, Moab, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

Roger Pellett Posted April 14, 2020 Share #71 Posted April 14, 2020 In the 1990’s the Israelis were building a number of large coal fired power stations along the Mediterranean sea coast and the company that I worked for had just completed a job to provide the high pressure steam and feed water piping for the plant built at Askalon. These contracts required that a percentage of the fabrication labor be provided locally. With more projects on the horizon, In 1986 our Israeli agent put me in touch with a plant in Israel that rebuilt tanks and I visited it to see if they could fabricate high pressure piping. It was an interesting place, as they had an assortment of tanks from allies as well as adversaries- British, American, and Russian, and of course they were being “upgraded” with all sorts of innovations, some of which they were careful not to let me see. I also saw several of the huge Israeli designed and built Merkava tanks being transported on the highway. Like many things it’s hard to imagine their size without seeing the real thing.

When Israel flew Nazi Planes Quote: 'The Avia S-99s & S-199's was constructed with parts and plans left over from Luftwaffe aircraft production that had taken place under the country’s German occupation of Czechoslovakia during the war." Were they made by the Nazi's? no, designed by a Nazi for the Nazi's yes.... Does a name change, change where they were created/originated from? or, what they were? Not in my opinion.... Not faulting the Israelis, they needed weapons and at that point in time the world was conspiring against them getting what they needed expecting the arabs to make short work of the jews... They couldn't get the proper engines for them because of the arms embargo so they obtained surplus Heinkel engines and props for them.... Made it a widow maker in service and quickly withdrawn when better aircraft became available...... they not only scored victories against Egyptian C-47's (modified into bombers) but over Syrian Spitfire's and Egyptian Mustangs......

From what I understand, that was pretty much how they did it. I read somewhere that in many cases they didn't even wash the mud and stuff off first. Nice progress Jack.

I actually some sub-assemblies glued up just not posted. I probably will have the tank and crew finished by tomorrow. But any diorama is going to take a bit longer. 1 hour ago, Edwardkenway said: I like the yard brush camo paint job Jack Thanks! 1 hour ago, Old Collingwood said: I think you are racing against greg Jack Nah !

You open your window up north so I can get some of your cool weather. I'll open mine so you can get some of the heat (from Florida) that will rise to the north. It was HOT today here. lmagna, popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
