Wm Blecky Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I have Dragon's 1/72 M4A3 105mm Sherman kit and want to make it into a 75mm M4A3 Sherman. I picked up Aber's metal gun barrel, but I suspect that there might be a little more to this than just swapping out gun barrels. Can anyone enlighten me further?

Apart from a new gun, you'd need a new gun mount, possibly a new commanders hatch and if it has the extra ventilator at the rear of the turret, it would need to be removed and you'd have to add the two inch mortar that M4A3 (75) had fitted. Take a look at this site http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/ It explains a lot. HTH's. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
