Currie's tank - St. Lambert sur Dives

[Michael Dorosh]

Now who would have thought the premier tank plan drawer in Canada would be dissing rivet counters?

I think you're right, but I'm tempted to look at your scale drawings in the pam and see what I can do anyway. Thanks to you and Geoff for the additional info. The problem with resin is that it is pretty fragile compared to the commercial plastic tanks (I have a 1/6 Stuart, but it was built for kids to play with, so is a bit tougher). I have done scratchbuilds and conversions in 1/35 but a 1/6 hull extension would be very difficult to do without being expensive and also horribly fragile.

I was going to depict CLANKY post St. Lambert - she was knocked out in October, so that gives me a Sep-Oct timeframe. The crew uniforms I have are a mix of BD and denims, and my infantry support will be all in BD. I also want to put Currie's VC ribbon on his uniform; any display I do will have some accompanying photos explaining what the stuff is - I can also mention the Sherman V difference.

Although BOMB is a neat idea too...hmm, maybe I really need two Shermans...
