99Problems, DP did the M4A3 and you did the Sherman Firefly. From what I can tell no one else has done the Sherman Family. And I havent seen an M3 Lee/Grant either, I think.

Alright thanks, Ì`ve got a M4A4 FL10 almost ready to post, and now ill start work on a 105 and mine exploder.

Edit: Also, I realized where I made my mistake with my attempt at a Marder II. Originally I was going to make a Marder III, but decided to make a Marder II and got the chasis mixed up. I checked on wikipedia though and it turns out early Marder III`s had frontal and central superstructures, and only the late models had the rear superstructure most people associate with the vehicle. I may fix up my Marder II and change it into a Marder III (early model).

Found out about this on Wikipedia and HAD to draw it. Post-WW2 Egypt modified some Sherman`s with the 75mm turret from the original AMX-13. I tried to paint it in Egyptian style, but that made it look a bit strange. If anyone wants to repaint it, go ahead.

I do believe that the Israelis did something akin to that as well.

Edit: I may try a super Sherman tomorrow, but don't expect it to be DP quality, I'm not nearly that good.

The Israelis used the same gun but adapted to the original Sherman turret. The reason why is because they weren't very impressed with the original turret (they wanted something with better armor protection, and the original Sherman turret despite its modern reputation did that). Many of these were sold to the Chileans.

They also used a 105mm French rifle (very frequently misattributed to being the L7) adapted to the original Sherman turret.

Also, 99problems, I don't know why you don't think your drawings are good. They look fine to me.
