Thank you for clarifying things. I really like the 'Close Combat' figures

Nice, how are you planning on using these figures?

I searched but am not having much luck. I found some figures on ebay specifically for a Hellcat, but they're from China. I don't really want to wait half a year for them to arrive. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I'm not very aware, but can any US tank crew be suitable for that tank in a diorama setting if I wouldn't be able to find a specific crew? Thanks in advance

@Longbow That is a very nice build. I like how the Olive Drab doesn't look so dark on it.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I looked into everything you said. I really like the RFM E8 kit, looks like it would be a very fun build especially since I've never build one from them. Trying to find it Canada might be a bit of a challenge as it seems to be sold out everywhere. Not sure what RB or DEF stands for. I've only bought ABER barrels in the past

Hello all. I hope I'm posting in the right section. I'm requesting some help identifying this tank as I would like to attempt to duplicate this image into a diorama. I'm not familiar with tank history, I just build the kits for fun. It's a Sherman M4A3 76w HVSS fording a river in Germany, 1945, based on the info from various sites I searched, most notably Reddit. I'm including both the original photograph I found online as well as a incredible colourization done by the person posting it on Reddit. I want to get it down right to the detail. I'm guessing it's the 'Easy Eight" tank. The one I found is from Tamiya, but not sure if its the correct one. I also found that kit built by a member of this site, ScootyPuffJunior. Incredible work. Someone on reddit posted this link to theshermantank.com, it's the 9th image down that gives some info on the subject tank. Also, to make it exactly like this tank, I want to do as much aftermarket as possible if needs be and if I could get some directions into that, there is just so much out there. Scalemates has a great source for this as well, but I'm looking at the suspension specifically. Also the tracks are different than what comes with the kit. There is just so much that will be going into this project, it will be my biggest undertaking and any direction I could get is most appreciated. Thank you all in advance, lumo

Hey Jeff, I mostly do armour but once in a while I'll do a completely random subject, from scifi to just painting a mini and doing a neat base for it Thank you all for the kind welcome, looking forward to being a part of this community
