EnsignExpendable Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Speaking of M4A3s, I just learned that Dragon makes a 1:6 scale M4A3. One sixth! I don't think that will even fit on a bookshelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get-To-Langer Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 If you look closely, there's Crusader or Cromwell tracks on the Firefly VC's turret. Since this is a CDN unit, I suppose it's possible they are CDP tracks too (from Sextons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been searching around, and this place is doing a pre order on it. http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com/dra75055-m4a3-105mm-howitzer-m4a3-75-w-tank-2-in-1-pre-order-price/ That thing is the size of a coffee table!

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I now have at least one of those for each engine. The A57 is going to have four more. I have the shop manuals, parts catalogs and TMs for all the different engines now, and enough other material, I really think I'm going to put a little book together based on my Data booklet I did for the GAA.

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I've gotten really good at fixing messed up scans, and cleaning up old images. I have a system to the simple ones can be done in like 10 to 15 minutes. The complicated ones depend on how many extra things I want to label, and how bad the original was. Bad scan FIxed A few more GAA things. I'm going to redo all these one more time. I put a little tutorial on my website about scanning printed media. Descreen is your friend people!!

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Look at that magnificent son of a bitch!! This is the almost final version, the final major change was to move all the carbs up in a row at the top of the motor. They solved the different length tubes going to each engine by putting baffles in them to get even flow across all five carburetors. Finding images of this is hard most display motors have the earlier setup. Here's one. Beer, LoooSeR, Stimpy75 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 New A57 image and fixed the older one. Here, you can see the belt driven water pumps and generator. The Generator was moved to the fighting compartment, run from a the drive shaft. Beer, Stimpy75 and N-L-M 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 I have a bunch of images in the works, but finished this one. Last year I got my hands on a copy of Ord 7 SNL G-104 Tank, Medium, M4A3, 105-mm Howitzer. This is just a suppliment to the G-10X for the M4A3 tanks, for the items specific to the 105 tanks. The pictures in this are better than the WWII parts catalogs. The 105-mm M4 Howitzer image in this catalog is was very nice and needed very little improvement once scanned. This is the older one I had, from TM9-7018, Medium Tank M4A3. The image quality in this manual is not so good. This was as nice as I could get this one. This image has just been reproduced to many times on bad scanners. LoooSeR, That_Baka, Lord_James and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
