Thanks, Martyn

Yep! 

[Raider4]

Yep! 

Damn. Thanks, but wrong answer 

Cheers, Martyn

Does it have a sporran too?

Leon,

Something that's just occured to me is that the M4A1 was the Sherman II in British parlance. The Sherman I was the M4. As this is descibed as cast hull I presume it is the M4A1 therefore the description needs a tweak. All the other Shermans are correctly denoted as far as I can tell.

Bit late but a pic

[Luddite]

Its in Hello Kitty colours!!   

[fred.]

Hello kitty colours? I'm confused (easily done) as the tank is dark green, not pink and white.

Having a 5 year old daughter, I am far too familiar with Hello Kitty!

You're screen shouldn't be well adjusted,or you're daltonian.
Light looks really pink.

This one was painted at the same time. But photographed much more recently.

[fred.]

The base on the first photo does look very pink

fred12df: -
Where did you get the decals you used on the tanks?

They are a mix of home made and scale specialities. The scale specialities used to be available through minifigs, but I don't know if they still sell them following the sale to Caliver.

Just slightly off topic - - I have just bought a pile of shermans, all without skirts but with various weapons and I have 3 models that have the box attached to the rear of the tank like those in fred12df pictures.
Why is that? I thought that they are all the same vehicle (or not)?

John - without pictures it's haed to tell. This might help,

the 76mm has a larger turret, and gun with muzzele brake,

Firefly - longer gun, same turret s 75mm with box at rear.

75mm turret - as above.

Any may have cast (rounded) or Welded(square) hulls.
