Hi Richard, no it's a grant tub. A sherman mock up is not impossible though, but I'll stick to sourcing a grant hull somewhere. Guns and turrets are another thing though! They may have to be mock ups.

Thanks Tim for looking, hope you have one. Would prefer an Australian issued manual over a USA Tech manual.

Ryan,

Congrats on the buy! Here's my suggestion for a restoration. Join my G104 mailing list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/G104/ to find more info and parts.

Regards,
Hanno

Cheers Hanno for the links and hints.
The aussies even made an ARV during the war but I think that retained the turret...hmm..or was it based on a M3 Lee..don't know, I'll have to check my books.
Searched for M3 grant on your mailing list and it came up with an interesting posting history, I'll have to remember it, thank you.
