Airfix 1/76 Sherman in NZ service


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My second (and second-to-last, probably) 1/76 armour build is finished! I bought the Airfix 1/76 M4A2 Sherman with the intention of cross-kitting it with the Italeri 1/72 one with an engine, but got impatient and decided to do it OOB.

I made some minor additions: a white metal MG for the commander's hatch, boxes for stowage on the front and on the turret bustle, a rolled up bit of whatever, some bits on the back and a stretched sprue whip antenna. Done with kit decals as a representative Kiwi Sherman from the Italian campaign.

My final planned 1/76 build is Airfix's Bren Gun Carrier done as a "what if" - my 6pdr-equipped one from the game World of Tanks. No idea when that will be as I haven't heard back from the shop as to when it's actually coming.
