TomCZ Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi there, I am thinking of making Sherman Mk.I dozer using Resicast dozer and Bison decals. Now I am just considering a donor - but since all my other Commonwealth Shermans should be from Asuka kits, can you please recommend, which kit or kits should be used from Asuka/tasca range ? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The Sherman I would be the M4. Asuka has announced plans this type earlier this month: http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/69247/ regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dragon Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Would that be a M4A2 rather than a M4? Regards Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Would that be a M4A2 rather than a M4? Regards Phil It could possibly be, but without seeing the style of transmission cover (or something else to compare between the two types?), I can't say for certain. Interesting chart here does put it as a Sherman I: http://www.172shermans.com/markings_New%20Zealand.htm regards, Jack Edited May 22, 2015 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dragon Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 It could well be, a view of the engine deck would be useful! Regards Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If the driver's and radio operators hoods are of the welded type as opposed to the cast type, that tells me is this is a tank built by Fischer Body. That in turn means it is most likely an M4A2 in that Fischer built mostly those variants. I'm looking at what appears to me as a sharp edge just above the add on plate in front of the driver's hood. Just addding to the confusion here! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyeomanry Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yep, looks like M4A2 with welded hoods to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCZ Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, getting complicated a bit Do you know about better resolution pic ? Or are there some pics of Commonwealth dozer with visible markings to make a correct camo on correct version ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
