This YouTube Content creator's channel just popped up in my YouTube and realized this guy needs more viewers.  His what-if Vulcan was the first link I saw and that led to me viewing more of his work in other videos he has shared.  Great work all around and if you like rabbits he has that covered too.

Yeah, no.  That would require me to log in to YouTube which I will not do since I was banned from accessing my original YT account.

Turning on the wayback machine to the mid 1960s. I remember seeing a table piled high with this kit at Woolworths in Toronto. Maybe $0.99.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Good call.   Give it the NCC-1701 finish and markings.   The decals are available.

Bet Carl is itching to build B-35 like that one with Canada insignia.

I did this a while ago:

Apologies if this is by someone from here.

What really gets me about this is that whoever made this really knows their onions. The .50 M85 that was in that cupola was custom-made to fit, all other weapons have too long a breech to fit inside except that minigun.

Something old and something relatively new put together to create a what-if that looks rather interesting:

M4 Sherman and M2 Bradley IFV kit bash found at YouTube from YouTube > FishTANK YouTube Channel > Operation Desert Garden - Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman turret + Tamiya M2 Bradley IFV hull. 

So far there are just two installments/parts to the project with more to come soon (I hope):
 
Part 1 link: Tank Kitbash | Operation Desert Garden | Tamiya 1/35th
Part 2 link: Operation Desert Garden - Part 2 | Tamiya 1/35th
Part 3 link: Operation Desert Garden - Part 3 | Tamiya 135th

*I Will update with additional links as they become available from the content creator. -- jjf 





***Edit to add link for Part 3. -- jjf

Pretty cool. 8)




PS: I was a tad annoyed by him constantly calling the M3 Bradley a "tank", though. As a modeller, he should know better than that! ::)

I do have parts left over from when I put a Bradley turret on a Sherman hull! Mix and match like ericr does.
