Research!

[Waspie]

Does the film 'Kelly's Heroes' count as research? It does include a handful of Shermans and the odd US military vehicle!!

It counts as research if you want to build a model of a vehicle used in Kelly’s Heroes I intend to build one of the Shermans from it at some point … Off the top of my head, they were M4A3 (75 mm) VVSS wet-storage tanks* with a 76 mm gun installed in place of the 75 mm, and some “upgrades” for the movie :smiling3:

* That is to say, Shermans with a Ford GAA V8 petrol engine, the revised glacis plate with “big” hatches for the driver and assistant driver, the old type of turret and the original suspension type.

I did a bit of research to get the pink on the a**e end of my 'Tiger' summat like it was in the fillum!



OOPS! Unsolicited image, but the temptation for a bit of fun was just too much.......

Would the mods' kindly remove the pickie at their leisure, if you choose to do so.

I thank you......
