M4A2 Sherman Free French	Dragon , 1/35 scale
by Jeremy Moore

Description

Here are some photos of my Free French M4A2 Sherman.

The model represents a tank from the French 2nd Division Blindee, 12th Regiment de Chasseurs d’Afrique, 2nd Escadron de Combat.

This project was particularly rewarding as I did the research that ultimately led to Archer Fine Transfers producing the markings for this particular vehicle and a number of others.

The model was built from the 1/35 scale DML Sherman III kit and features a number of enhancements including:

• Tasca idler wheels, final drive covers, drive sprockets, and turret .50 cal

• Formations turret, fenders, and adjustable idler wheel mounts

• Transmission housing from the DML M4A2 Tarawa kit

• Tiger Model Designs M4A2 exhaust

• AFV Club T51 tracks

• Scratchbuilt rear hull stowage box

• Warriors and Nemrod figures

The model was photographed with a Nikon D50 with Nikkor 28mm and 60mm macro lenses.
