This is a set of USMC tankers that I did to go in the VLS Trakz M4A2 conversion. Released this month from VLS.

Hi Luke,

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.

Thanks

Bill (y)
