Bill ....nice figgys and I might add way better than anything I could do but....man.....how in hell are the driver and radio man going to get out of those hatchs!!! man their big!.....too big for 35th
Thanks for the kind words about the figs. Last summer I had the chance to spend some time inside of four different real running Shermans. I was amazed at how tight a fit it actually was, one of those things that most modelers do not actually realize until they experience the real thing. This Sherman is actually true 1/35 and so are the figures.
A man had to turn sideways to exit these early hatches which was one of the reasons that the latter models of Shermans had the enlarged hatches.
I think that there is a little bit of an optical illusion in this photo, a depth of field trick adding to the confusion.
