Great, could you post a picture? Also, was it the second series or some other series?

I can snap a shot of it tonight if someone else doesn’t get one up first. Since it was the first one I bought and I missed the S-1 version I believe it was the S-2 version but I’m not completely sure on that.

I have a tan camo version of this tank with a Marine in early tanker helmet.
What version is it?

If it has the red, white and blue top hat on the turret, then I think it is S3. The camo tan/green one is S2, but that might be just interpretation, do to the fact that both were release through the fan club at the same time. If someone has the flyer from the fan club they have the stock number with S2 or S3 listed under them. Don't know if I still have mine. Also there is the Marine version of the camo tan/green one that came with a Marine over the Tanker S5, but again just interpretation only because it has the Marine.

as i recall the bushmaster and the marine camo shermans came out about the same time If i had to guess i would say bushmaster was S2 and marine camo is S3 but i don't know if they ever were officially designated that way.

There were the Viet Nam figures that are now being sold as surplus by 21c for $1. And the cool "Ultimate Soldier" sticker as well!

Yeah, that one, too! I have a list around somewhere that came when I joined the origional fan club that has a listing of what was being offered.

They also had the S2 versions of the P-51 Laura Michelle and ME-109 Spinach/Sand camo. I think they offered the Huey Hog Head too, but don't quote me on that.

Ahh... So the bushmaster is the top hat?

And the COED is the same COED that was at WM last year, right?

Great pictures btw! Mind if I use them for the sshq db?

I'm lucky to have this one too. It's hard to find now,.. unless you have a fat wallet. This is the one with the 3-Japanese "pillbox" kill markings on the side of the turret opposite the "hat in the ring".
