Is the 76mm the plastic one from the kit?
After asking around no 76mm jumbos had muzzle breaks except cobra king who was refurbished later on.

The one shown is the plastic one from the M4A3 kit.  We probably will include a 76mm barrel without the muzzle brake.  We need to figure out a way to make sure the 76mm barrel is straight throughout production.

Is there a need for that? The builder will need to use the M4A3 (76) kit as the base so it has the right engine deck and the extended-edge-connector tracks, so they'll have both versions of the 76 barrel off the 76mm turret sprue anyway

They would also need a 75mm barrel.

Our Jumbo prototype is now ready for a review... A multi-part resin conversion kit for our M4A3 (280042) plastic kit.











Enjoy!

Do you need a use for one? It just looks cool ^_^

I already have one from somewhere else, but I’m probably going to pick one up. Although all hobby is currently on hold for me due to carpel tunnel issue :(

While looking for some Sherman pictures I ran across this picture of a Jumbo  nose casting being tested by 90mm and 3 inch shells
