stevej60 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi folk's,a present from my Grandson was the new tool Airfix Sherman,Lovely kit which gives the option of one piece wheel/ tracks ala Armourfast.If you go that option go the superglue route for some reason the plastic used on these parts seemed different to the rest or it might just be me! Thanks for looking and Thanks to Matchbox for those little bases. 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Driver...Stop!...STOP!!! It looks great, but Airfix have made a slight mistake with the hull MG. It shouldn't have one. Apparently the co-driver position was used to stack ammo. Maybe they're going to reissue the kit as a normal Sherman V? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Superb stuff just building mine at the moment! I think the plan is to release the kit with just the armourfast style tracks as a starter set the link and length sprue is just for the normal kit👍 Hope to finish mine at the weekend! Nice work👍 TT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APA Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Ha ha this takes me back. One of the very first models I got I think. Remember that broken bridge very well. Nice modelling 👍🏻 A Edited December 31, 2020 by APA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 How did you get on with the link and length Steve I’ve done mine now but it was a right faff- maybe I shouldn’t have painted them first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the one piece track/wheel/bogey parts for a quick build on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sardaukar Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Nice job I got about a 40 year flashback seeing that bridge diorama base, I remember having that as a kid but I don't remember what tank it came with. Can anyone tell me which matchbox kit that base came with? I checked on scalemates but couldnt find it. Regards Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Sard Hi Sard, It came with the Matchbox Firefly, I don't know why more kit makers don't do these cool bases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah cool, I see it on scalemates now. Revell seem to still have it in print (unlike the Cromwell, grrrrrr) I will need to get one for nostalgia reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
