I built a 1/16 version last year so I put the two side by side for fun.

The 1/18 version was built on the bbi Sherman and the 1/16 was built on the Henglong version.

The 1/16 version is for sale at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/190507546/ ... e_active_1

I really love it Jon!!! Great work as always. I like the thought of having the template Sherman for what later (post ww2) became the M4A3E4 - although this one is from WW2. Apparently there are some shots of it in the Hunnicutt Sherman book - I wonder if someone has seen the images of it from that book?

Here is a link to the video of the 1/16 Sherman. In the video it shows the only photo that I know exists of the tank in Germany.
