Advice for first Sherman

Robert’s picks for books were excellent, cheap and full of info. There are other Sherman books out there too, just take a look around, you’ll find one you like.

About the 3 piece differential cover, it was used in Italy until the end of the war on older Shermans (those few survivors!)… I’ve seen a photo of one in Germany also… (70th Tank Battalion).

About the Tiger, to quote Oddball, “It’s a mother beautiful tank!”
To quote Moriarty: “cr*p!”.
Yes, I’d rather have a Panther too.
About the Stuart, ain’t they just the cutest?? fun to drive too!
Shermans are fun too, until you get an 88 whizzing past your brain case… while you’re buttoned up!

Have fun with your build, WELCOME to the nut house armor forum, glad to have you aboard. Ask questions any time.
