A future kitbashing idea ???
As I prepare to kitbash my 3 M-24 Chaffe tanks, I will be using the M-41 tank as my platform and the BBI sherman Main gun mount. But I was wondering what to do with the 3 gunless BBI shermans. So I had this idea of using the 21st C sherman main gun mount with an extended barrel with the slight flaring at the end. I will also mount an old style loud speaker on the side of the turret - Know where I'm going with this ?!? I may just plan to(with making a few custom figures) make Odd Ball's 3 sherman tanks from the movie Kelly's Heros
What do you think ??? Intresting idea ??? The General

M7
The M7 idea has tickled my thoughts
Would be a little easier to do AND I have the GI Joe howitzers to make them with. After an inventory of parts, I see I don't have any spare main gun sheilding to use on the shermans after I remove the mount/sheilding from the 3 I have to make the M-24 Chaffes. So the M7 seems a better bet for now, at least on 2 chassies. I would still like to make Odd Ball's tank with the loud speaker on it
Odd Ball himself would be an easier figure to make. And I have the removable leather tank helmets to do him with
