Hello guys.
Been a long time since i posted here.2017 was the last time i made a model.Since Christmas ive developed a liking for 72nd tanks.I heard the Heller Sherman m4 .d .day and M4a2 Division Leclerc kits were nice.

Since Christmas ive bought 12 of these kits.They quickly build up spares box as there are options in these kits for direct vision and welded hood versions.So many options for users including u.k etc.This one is an American early M4 Direct vision used in Tunisia.So plenty of dust on this one eventually.I made some tow cables by twisting fuse wire in a battery drill.

I recommend these kits for any small scale fans.

Cheers from Rich.

That's built up nicely Richard. You could spend all your time just on Sherman variants. 1/72 is a nice scale.

Thanks Jim.Yes a nice scale and great for not taking up much storage space.So many colour schemes can be done and by swapping turrets with Airfix V.C firefly then Welded 1c can be made from the Heller M4 D.Day kit.

Hi fella.These kits are cheap as well.Been getting some from Amazon for 8.99 each.E.bay has them with postage at up to 15 quid so bargain really.Ive never built 48th afvs but never say never.
