Lafayette Poole and Audy Murphy Armor
Hey Guys,
I just finished these , a M4A1 76 W (wet) and the mid production M-10
Poole was the REAL "War Daddy " who was the top tank ace of the U.S . and Murphy won his Medal of Honor on the back of a burning M-10.
I have heard that you can not do anything with a Bravo Team Sherman but you can.
I converted Bravo's M4A3 early to a late M4A1 76 W(wet).
A lot of modification went into this.
I make the early M4A1 casted hull as well as the newer T-23 turret , but I needed to make the late version so I scratched the hull for this consignment.
Here is a before and after side by side.

Re: Lafayette Poole and Audy Murphy Armor
You know, when I see the title of this thread, I keep thinking it has something to do with that fiasco from 17-18 years ago with that scammer who went by the screen name Audie Murph…
Nevertheless, fantastic work on those tanks, Pickelhaube
