This baby has some killer detailing, Zod! Brian da Basher
That is VERY pretty. It looks very mean. I like it a lot.Cheers,Logan
I'm glad to see this one again! I always thought it was such a cool, plausible looking idea. One of these days, I'd like to do a similar vehicle in 1/35 scale but I'm reluctant to sacrifice my only Academy M36 for the build.
Here is a image of a sherman with the early turret with a long barreled 76 mm gun. The gun unbalanced the turret. This lead to shortening the barrel by five calibre lengths and adding a counter weight to the breech.

Here is my version of a Sherman Turret with said gun on a M10 chassis with applique armour installed.[img] http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p532/wandering_engineer/M7Thomas.jpg[\IMG]This is the prototype/pilot vehicle for my fictional M7 General Thomas tank. I have a AFV Club M35 artillery tractor and a Nichimo M4A1 sherman lined up to make this as my next armour build
