I modelled the stowage from archive photos of a Sherman Jumbo in Cologne, 1945 (1/35 STL)

Wait 5 sec.

I've been working on a stowage set for the M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo 76mm, based on archive photos of a vehicle in Cologne in 1945. Instead of generic Sherman clutter, I tried to match what the crew could actually have carried on that tank. The set includes tarps, a crate with jerrycans, a .50 cal cover, turret bags, a teapot and the wooden armor planks. I used the MENG 1/35 kit, and the parts can also be used separately on other M4A3. This is the first version of it and I might modify few things, like the wooden armor as I found more footage of the tank showing its side. The files are on Cults3D if you are interested, update will follow soon ! This will be part of a diorama project! Happy to talk about the reference photos or how I approached the stowage layout!   submitted by   /u/Minute-Arachnid2546   to   r/modelmakers [link]   [comments]
