k5054nz Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytareh Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yeah looks well .I think Bren carrier has a 2 pounder in WOT Blitz ( and PC game ?) Not sure it could cope with a 6 pounder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindicareassassin Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Not a Bren Carrier but a Lloyd in Belgian service.... 90mm Anti Tank gun just as an idea https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Loyd_90mm_CATI_pic2.JPG#/media/File:Loyd_90mm_CATI_pic2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Bren's final gun upgrade is the Ordnance QF 6pdr, so perhaps the build will be more of a "whif" Thanks for your kind words folks! This was a fun little build, track fixing aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
