ScottsGT Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I’ve always liked the early Sherman, but my Google-foo is weak tonight. I found articles on a 3D printed hull on other chassis, but I’m just wanting an OOB kit I can mull over buying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggtim Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The answer is no, not yet, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 I guess my Google-foo wasn’t weak. I was searching for unobtanium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggtim Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I exhausted my Google foo doing the same thing a while back. The only way I could find to do it was to buy an expensive later model kit and add a bunch of really expensive resin conversion stuff. I am holding out hope that Andy's HHQ will do one. I have asked him via email a couple of times. Please help me bug him about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The only real way is to buy a RC one like Hen long, with out the radio stuff, but it would need a lot of work to mzke it look good. I'm hoping for an Andys HHQ also, but I'm not holding my breath. Ron G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 If you're looking for a large scale Sherman with VVSS suspension, Dragon do some in 1/6. Needless to say, they're a bit (a lot?) bigger and a bit (a lot more?) expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, they're a bit (a lot?) bigger and a bit (a lot more?) expensive. Hey Carl I have that kit. It cost me $400.00 dollars back about 10 years ago. It's basically one of there 1/35 scale kits enlarged to 1/6 scale. They even enlarged the thickness of the plastic walls! The detail is like you would imagine if you scaled up all the small pieces to 1/6, they just wouldn't be right. Ron G 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Thanks Ron! I've never seen the kit contents so that's good to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I too have hoped fo a large-scale early model Sherman.....I' m guessing That Andy's next release will be a Lee and a Grant, which will be cool. He stated; that he will be announcing an american and a British tanks and they won't be a sherman. A Lee, American....change the turret, A Grant, British. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
