And yep, that’s from a M4A3E2.
Hope y’all had a nice holiday.
Hi guys : )
I hate to beat a post to death, but sometimes you get new reference or someone posts a new picture and things change . When I build a model, I just try to do the best I can with the available data.
Thanks, Steve ( diaster master) for posting that pic.(M4A3E2)… I hope you , and others like how I have translated your data. I think it is finally correct , although alternatives are out there.
Thanks,
tread
Looks good, great work. I know researching can be a royal pain. Shermans will always be popular because even though they all look alike, there are so many minute differences, even within a single model line, vehicles built at one plant had unique characteristics from the same exact model built at another.
Sort of like when the Abrams came out. There were slight differences between a tank built at the Detroit plant and the Lima, Ohio plant.

You’d never know it had ever been any other way.
That hand of yours must have recovered nicely.
Tread , that forward bracket on the bar looks completely like Steves pic [Y] What is it made from , brass sheet ?
Hi Shell : ) … it is .010 " styrene, cut and carved with the tip of my trusty # 11 blade. It is very fragile, but gluing it on the hull gave it strength…brass would have been the way to go, but I do not have a bending tool yet.
thanks for checkin’ it out!

P.S. my next thing (after I finish the repaint) for my Sherm is the commander… I’m dreading it, but I think I will assemble him today
Tread , dont dread …[^o)]…hmmm , anyway, its another challenge that you will master .[Y]
