Super Sherman
- Thread starter Grumpa
- Start date
Tracks are from a T62 kit because the Super Sherman kit tracks (DML) were individual links, but each link
had three pieces
NO WAY! Ido know that the Israelis were masters of ingenuity and integrated
many salvaged and captured parts and equipment.
Mastering the "vinyl serpents" is possible because if the sag ain't right it just kills everything else.
I did have to narrow the sprockets a bit but it was a small price to pay.

That's what I said, although this is a purely fictional scenario, I got admonished on the previous siteMy "attention to detail" is slipping.....
I didn't notice those aren't Sherman tracks when I first viewed the pictures.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome.
I used to be on by a well "known" rivet counting techno-nut who researched far and wide on line
just to be able to say on the open forum (of course) that "there is no historical evidence of T62 tracks
ever being used by the Israelis to retro-fit onto a Super Sherman" This was his tactic with most
other postings by other modelers. This kind of bothered us because he hardly ever posted anything much
and though I would never degrade another's work (it's not my place to do so) let's just say his was
bland at best.
"Picky Dickie" we called him, which infuriated him to no end, MY NAME IS RICHARD!! he would
shout (in all capital letters).
By which I would calmly reply " history has shown that men named Richard were called Dick
and yes, even little Dick-y .Jim
