Guys,
I am getting towards building my 1/35 scale Tamiya M4A3E8 "Korean War" version. I know it comes with the
excellent "demon face" American decals, but I'd kinda like to build a Canadian version. Specifically, "Catherine"
from "C" Squadron, Lord Strathcona's Horse. It is featured in Steven Zaloga's excellent book "M4 (76mm) Sherman
Medium Tank 1943-65. This tank does NOT have the canvas mantlet cover installed. In the color plates (page "E") it shows
the mantlet like is supplied in the kit. However, on page 43 there is an actual photograph of Catherine on the mantlet shows
rod-like pieces used to attach the mantlet cover to.
The point of this long-ass post is, does anybody make a Sherman mantlet that has the cover hardware on it?
