Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi I made slight tweaks on a few of my XD stuff.

This is a combo of a 21st and BBI Sherman, so I could make a M4A3 75mm Sherman.



The only major mod I did on the Panzer IV is I added a brass barrel. The original gun barrel was a tad short, when compared to pics and diagrams.


The BBI Abrams. The only thing I tweaked was I opened up the gunner's sight housing's doors, moved the extra roadwheel in the proper place so it doesn't look like it's just freefloating on top of the turret, and I turned the smoke dischargers at an angle. I haven't decided on the markings yet, but decided to do a Gulf War Abrams. You really can't do an OIF Abrams with the BBI model without some major and extensive surgery.

Very Nice mate.

Love the reworks & repainting. You`ve done a Great job on all 3 tanks.

I`ve yet to get any Sherman`s though your actual mixing BBI & XD together is really interesting

Got to say i`m impressed with the armour you have shown us today mate

Where did you get your brass barrel at, and how long is it supposed to be? That would be an excellent project for my non-rc panzer with the rc panzer replacement barrel.

YES - TELL US ABOUT THE BRASS BARREL -
MAN i WISH i HAD THE TIME IN THE DAY TO PLAY WITH THESE THINGS.

Hi, I don't know what the brass "barrel" product is called, but I saw it while browsing through the RC section of my Hobbytown. It's an RC part.
I thought it might fit, so I took the Panzer IV muzzle break and gun mantlet with me and lo and behold, it fits!

The original gun length looks just a bit tad small to me, like a Panzer IV G.
Here's a good diagram of an Ausf. H gun.

Oh! Then I'm fine with the Ausf G barrel for my DAK rc panzer. Cool. So I'll only need to update the non-rc Ausf H. Thanks for the info.
