    Shane you’re a maniac! What a beautifully-detailed build of a great subject. Most modellers wouldn’t attempt a build like this, and most who did wouldn’t be able to pull it off as convincingly as you have. Can’t wait to see it in paint.

    Nice work shame, but, yes their is a but, the USMC didn't use m4a3, as they were gasoline engine tanks, the usmc only used the diesel version of the sherman m4a2. I believe they may have used the Chrysler version but I'm not 100% sure on that

    • @albundy8139
      @albundy8139 День тому

      Close but not correct, the Marines did use M4A3s at both Okinawa and Iwo Jima, they generally took whatever they could get.

    • @longlance67
      @longlance67 10 годин тому

      You are indeed on the money. First deployment of M4A3s for the USMC was Iwo Jima with two Marine Tank Battalions along with a battalion of M4A2 landing on the Island

    • @longlance67
      @longlance67 10 годин тому

      Ah but there is a but to your but. So before Iwo Jima the USMC did indeed use M4A2s such as the Fisher built examples that landed on Tarawa. However their first deployment of M4A3(also Fisher built of memory serves) would be on Iwo Jima. With the Fourth and Fifth Marine Tank Battalions deploying the M4A3 and Third Marine Tank Battalion deploying M4A2 to the Island. Source is Squadron Publishing's book dedicated to the Marine Shermans on Iwo. Well worth a read if you can get your hands on it. hope this helps

    Agreed, that is one cool looking Sherman! All those adaptions for close combat with Japanese infantry make it unique and stand out. I painted the same Marine tanker figure a while ago and was amazed by the detail of that resin figure, very impressive indeed what the level of quality is like these days. Great work so far, i am looking forward seeing this receiving some paint and badass weathering!!

      Ya it is one of those funny things in history. People tend to put too much energy into these characters without looking at the greater picture of the events they were part of. With all attention being poured into who fired the fatal shot. Rather than exploring the idea that entire Tiger Platoon was wiped out in a few minutes and tactics that made it so. And don't get me started on Villers Bocage lol

    @michaelkenny8540 Місяць тому

    The actual position of 007 means it (and all the other Tigers with it) drove past the walled area where the M4s are normally placed and none of those Tigers are visible to those Shermans. If 007 was hit by a Canadian M4 then it must be one at the extreme northern end of the chateau grounds. There were two other Tigers advancing on the road and those two would be clearly visible to the walled Shermans and easy targets. The 1944 and post-war air views of the area do not show it very well but IGN have very good air views from 1937 that are much more useful for working out who was in line of sight.

    Well done and logical. It is completely irrational for so many videos to claim it was Ekins' tank that destroyed Wittmann's Tiger when the shot came from the opposite direction. I think they don't live in the current universe where the laws of physics do not allow for a tank shell to travel one kilometre and then turn around 180 degrees to destroy Tiger 007. 🙄🤷‍♂

The only things I would recommend replacing as a matter of course.

Mistake number 1, I bought a cheap Chinese Airbrush. That was rectified with a H and S evolution but even so i was still encountering some problems with Vallejo paints!
