Dragon M4A1(76mm)W Operation Cobra Kit #6083
Posted by Davja on Friday, May 17, 2019 3:52 PM

Hey guys,

Just curious if this would be a good starting point for a more accurate version of a Sherman involved in the Battle of the Bulge?  I did that old Italeri kit a while back for someone else, thinking on maybe doing this one up for me.  

Thanks.

Yes it would be. 2nd and 3rd Armored Divisions had M4A1 76mm tanks that survived from Cobra to the Ardennes fighting. The Dragon kit is probably the best one on the market currently.

Thanks Stik.  Now to resume the hunt for the "Bonnie" decals, lol.

 

Actually, I think I need to hunt down the stars, i can't remember.  I do believe you hooked me up Stik.

LOL! Yes, I’m pretty sure that I sent you those awhile back. Stars can easily be sourced. Archer, Bison, Superscale, Squadron,  all make US vehicle star decals in 1/35.

Does anyone happen to have an idea what size the stars are?  Would they have been 20" on the real deal?

Still not pleased with myself for getting a bit too carried away with the dullcoat, but it did kind of give it the look of being cold.
