Airfix Shermania 2

The Squadron continues...
Another dressed Sherman with spare tracklinks, roadwheels, and a crate off a Airfix pack animal from the German Mountain Troops set.

I am not sure where the .50 Cal MG came from but it looks quite budget. The figure comes from a Fujimi Sherman, but can be found in most Fujimi US sets. Looking at it closely you can see it is a clone of one of the Airfix British Para's. Tank crews were issued with a steel helmet that resembled the Para helmet, apart from the chinstrap.

These last two are of my first Airfix Sherman that taught me how not to put on the tracks. I was far to rough with them and they tore, hence the replacement Matchbox links from a Panzer III.

Of note is the tarp on the rear engine deck made from PVA soaked First Field Dressing, 1/35 scale Ammo box on the rear of the turret and a bench seat from the Airfix Heller GMC Truck being used as a rack or anti hollowcharge projectile shield on the hull sides. Figure from the Matchbox Humber Armoured Car. Still more to come...
