Default Getting it back

Colin you just need it to rain in WA and you can probably float it back in your rubber ducky.

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
