Small Scale Military Headquarters

Armour(Franklin Mint), has introduced 3 1/24 scale tanks - 2 Abrams and 1 Sherman. All list for $195.00.

These have been available for quite a while now and retail for anywhere between $170-$200.00 depending on where you find 'em. Was lucky enough to have purchased a few of each a few years back when FM closed all their retail locations, and actually found a few of the 1/24 Humvees at a Tuesday Morning.

Here is a pic of their latest Sherman. It is based on the 3rd Infantry Division during the Korean War. There are currently 3 versions of the Sherman, two of the Abrams and 2 of the Humvee.

M4-A3 Sherman Tank "Easy Eight"

Since I don't collect this scale, I don't keep up with it. What caught my eye was the fact that the Sherman was listed as "new," so I didn't know if it was a recent issue or not. It does look pretty nice.

That particular Sherman isn't even listed on the FM site yet.

I saw it listed at Stratton's Toys

there is an interesting feature in the current Fine Scale Modeler magazine (readily available in the US) that has a nice build up and detailing of the Franklin Mint M4A3E8. With some TLC this makes a sharp model!

Would that be HistoricalBob's awesome Korean War M-4? He posted some great pics of that tank while it was in progress back on the old Model Hangar site.
