Super Sherman M4A1E8 (HVSS) 90mm Gun Combat Tank

[Jim Lewis]

I'm going to join this Group Build with a long-time want of mine. I'm going to put together a M4A1 Sherman with HVSS Suspension armed with a shortened barrel (44 caliber from 56 caliber as used on the M26 Pershing) 90mm gun placed into a T23 Turret. Unfortunately, I don't have even a drawing of one to post.

I'm going to mark is as a vehicle belonging to the African-American 761st Tank Battalion, in Austria at this time. I'm going to christen the American Super Sherman "Crecy III" in honor of the baddest man in the battalion, a fearless tanker.
