Taking inspiration from Elias, I’m slowly making progress on my rubicon sherman collection. My goal is to make them as specific as possible to either an actual photo, battle, or campaign. That said, I don’t want to go “rivet counter” on these little guys. I just want to approximate some of the details from the original tanks.

This one is my Israeli M1 what the IDF called the “super sherman” I used the M4A3E8 and M4A1 76mm kit with some minor conversion needed for the sand shield mudguard piece to make the hull fit, otherwise it was easy swap of parts. The rest of the M4A3E8 kit became a donor for the Jumbo conversion.
I’m still working on the smoke dischargers and other details...

This one will become “cobra king first in bastone” from the battle of the bulge and I used the excellent resin set plus the M4A3E8 I mentioned above as donor kit.
