                        Robert, I'll see if I can still find that book about the Funnies at the library near my workplace.

                        Derek, thanks for the links. That rocket is quite awesome!

                        Duke, looks like you did a decent job on that kit. As I remember it (20 odd years ago), the Hasegawa kit was a much better kit than the Fujimi one. It looked awesome, but of course I did not know then about the scale problem...

                        Hey Dj, another one of your scratch-building projects? Even unfinished, it already looked good. And just to think of it...in 1/72 scale?

                        Keep 'em coming cause I like 'em a lot.

                        Awesome sites Claymore. Don't think I have a spare $650.00 for a rocket today.

                        That is incredible! I never knew they diod anything like that with a Sherman.

                        I got one for Shermanfreak too, but it's a bit more basic: It's one of those over-scaled Hasegawa M48A3E8's in Japanese GSDF Markings. It didn't go together well either!

                        Here's the pic:

                        SWEET ..... you're making me itch to drag out the plastic card and start scratchbuilding something Domi.

                        Hmmmm ... like I don't have enough projects on the go already.

                        Got any good line drawings of a BARV ??????

                        Keep us posted on the progress please.

                        I'm sure you will recognize this one, Robert... But for those who might not know (too) much about the Sherman, this is the T31 Demolition Tank...

                        Of course there's not that much to see right now. The main thing about this vehicle was its armament: in particular, two 7.2in rocket launchers Black Eye [B)] in the sides of the new turret (one, in its most basic form, is shown here).

                        I had been thinking of using Hasegawa's M4A3E8 (which I had fond memories of) but I read it's way overscale for a 1/72 kit... I eventually got the Fujimi kit (1/76) but I wish I had not bothered because nothing fits properly and some of the detail and molding are simply awful... If you are thinking about purchasing this kit, just do not bother!

                        Anyway, this is how things stand at the moment. I'll be soon Milliputting it to get the curves on.

                        Hope you like it!
