BlackMax12 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 John I'm not a Sherman expert, well I don't know squad about Shermans that is but yes it has this goofy flat muzzle brake. I think it's supposed to be a French 105mm and it does look way too big. What should it look like? Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really good photos on this site. http://svsm.org/gallery/m51_latrun/P1740617 If you are interested, I've got a complete sprue of the turret and gun from Tamiya's M51. I used the rest of the kit to build my M1 Super Sherman. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks John That sure is an ugly blob on the end of that gun. Wonder why it wasn't just he more normal brake like the German WWII style. Maybe they needed more recoil damping don't know but sure is ugly. I'll see what I can do to mod the Academy brake.

Andy350 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Wow, that is brilliant, I've got tons of questions that I could ask, but I will save you from that. How to get that look on the tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
