Radpoe Spitfire Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I recently had the opportunity to take some close up photo's of a friends Sherman Grizzly, which is now finished in U.S. colours & fitted with American sprockets & rubber cleat track. Although It was a canadian built AFV & ironically served with the 52nd on D-Day, it was "converted" to represent an American one ( by the Tank museum I believe) for display at the 2004 Normandy anniversary. Not strictly an accurate restoration, I know, but If anyone is interested, let me know please. Regards Rad.
Radpoe Spitfire Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Yes please!!! With a cherry on top! Simon Simon no problem, Just give me a bit of time while I get the photo's downloaded & work out how to go about it.
SimonT Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks very much, all good things come to those who wait! Simon

Although it is in reality a Grizzly I've taken plenty to whet a sherman fan's appetite..................hopefully I'm sorry for the delays involved getting these phot'os done---------they have been taken, but I'm in the middle of moving house and to my annoyence my wife's packed the ScanDisk they're on . What is frustrating is I've paid attention to the manufacturer's marks on the castings, some inside the turret & rear engine detail. Please bear with me as I wanted to download them today as my home PC will be off air for a couple of weeks, but will in the meantime hunt for the disk & get them done asap. Regards Rad.
