jimmie58 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I have a couple of 1/35 scale Sherman tank models to which I would like to add detail to the turret. Are there any after market kits for this purpose? Does any 1/35 kit offer an example of the above which I can use as a pattern? How close is the Sherman 75mm breech to the 76 mm breech? I have a Replicast 75mm breech I could use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkmouth Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Italeri's kit has a simplified 3 in (76mm) gun breech. Better detail is found in the Tamiya M10 kit (although Academy's rendition should suffice for viewing through the hatches). Since Italeri kits are relatively cheap (usually under the Testor's brand) it is what I used. Regards, Edited February 10, 2017 by sharkmouth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmie58 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 THANKS for the suggestions. It would be nice if some aftermarket enterprise offered a 76mm turret. I just sent away for the 17 pounder breech offered by Resicast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
