Sherman M4A3E2 Jumbo by Tom Willoughby




This is the old Tamiya M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo by Tamiya. It has some accuracy issues but when I built it it was the only available model.

I replaced the front transmission nose piece with a resin alternative as Tamiya had not remodelled it from another Sherman kit. The replacement was several inches thicker. I had to make weld seams on the new front and on the side plates. I also added photo etch tail light guards and the MG clips.

Another modification was to open the periscopes and add guards. Its markings show it to be part of the 6th Armoured Division.

The tank commander figure is Verlinden and is slightly over scale. He must be a Texan (it's all those BBQ dinners to blame, JL). I hope you guys like the model.

Additional Note from John:
I have noticed how historical modellers treat a kit as a starting point and then go on to quite extensively modify and improve it. I think maybe there is a lesson for us wargamers there.
