The Road to Falaise Bobs on going 15mm WW2 Adventure
Oddballs Sherman
I didn’t win any prizes at bootcamp, particularly Oddballs Sherman, so set about making my own. I converted a Tank’s M4A3, as found in base set, a great little model with enough parts to make separate turrets for 75 & 76mm, plus 105mm , and panels to make late up armoured versions with late muzzle break.
This allowed me to use early 76mm barrel to produce the Kelly’s Heroes 76mm Sherman
As you can see from film photo below it had the 76mm gun in a 75mm turret.
I then added storage from PSC M5 halftrack spares, the M4A3 kit itself and the bits left on sprues from ‘On the Beach’.
The speaker is a sketch built item from Dropfleet Commander space Station spares and bits of sprue. which once painted will look about right on 15 mm kit unless put under close scrutiny. I also used the later commanders copula provided for the 105mm suppert sherman as it appears to be the one on the in photo below , plus 28 mm version as per Warlord.
The commander is a Russian tank commander with a smooth downed headgear.
