Jerry V Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 On 2016-10-03 at 7:10 PM, JackG said: Hi Sarge, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have a partially started Dragon kit from last year, but the fixes bogged it down. At the time it was intended to be the Holy Roller, believed to be the only Sherman from the Canadian First Hussar's regiment to land on D-day and still be in combat service when the war ended in Europe. So maybe I can take a stab at finishing this one. regards, Jack I know this tank well, saw her in London Ontario (must have a hundred pics hiding somewhere!) I like that she has solid spoke wheels on 1 side and spoked on the other. Not sure if that's the result of repairs or just spares left over and put on her when she came back across the pond. Should be a good subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi Jerry V, I too noticed Holy Roller's different road wheels, just looks odd that they are not intermixed both sides - possibly arranged that way post war by by the museum? Covering some 2,500 miles in almost two years undoubtedly wore out the rubber, and I recall reading it did suffer some damage when hit by an AT round on the port side. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lancaster Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've got Dragon's Sherman Firefly with a Black Dog Accessories set. Mind if I tackle the abstract kit on this GB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 May I make a plee? From my earlier post you may know that the tank I plan to build id a Wiltshire Yeomanry Sherman Mk111 it is the Dragon kit 6313. As I live in Highworth I plan to build the tank with that name, unfortunately the letter H appears too often in HigHwortH for decal sheets to vope with! If any body has the same kit and can spare any Hs I would be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well, unless funds are an issue, better off treating yourself with an ASUKA Sherman kit. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on an Asuka kit. Didn't want to expand the stash, but least now I can see first hand how this brand goes together. Found HLJ had the best prices, and picked up the Sherman V (M4A4). regards, Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks Sarge, I figured you would approve. It is a good thing I ordered when I did, that particular kit is out of stock now. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is will be my entry, I built there VC kit when they first came out and were called Tasca. A very nice build it was to, especially the bogie arrangements. I just need to source the black dog scrim set and I will be ready for 31st Dec 17. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Ozzy, look forward to that one. I've recently read on another forum some issue with quality control with the newer Asuka kits. Yours should be ok as it is a rebox of Tasca, but did you notice any extra flash or sink marks? regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their VC kit went together like a dream, I do like the bogie configuration with the sponge element. The tracks aren't to bad either.

Ade H Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If this is still on, you can count me in, as I just doubled the number of Dragon British Shermans (for which spellcheck is suggesting Germans, ironically!) on the shelf. Jadlam just got the El Alamein in for £26. The two provisos are that I remember about this as far away as January, and that one of them remains unbuilt by then. Neither will be easy. The other's a Mk.III with Bison decals for the NZ 20th at Cassino in '44, and that will no doubt be done sooner than the GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
