I know I am probably looking for the needle in a haystack,but............. Does anyone have any decals of an M4A1 of markings used in Sicily? Something like this.

http://www.tasca-modellismo.com/seihin/m4a1m3vvss/m4a1m3vvss-decal.gif I would also need decal placement instructions if you could take photos and send them to me. I have a Tasca Sherman II (M4A1) that was given to me as a gift,and I would like to convert it into a US Army version.
 
The decal you linked to (froma limited edition set) is of Eternity T which was in North Africa in 1942.

Compare to these images which I have verified are from the preparations for "Operation Husky" (note the national insignia, camouflage, tank numbers, tank names):

However, normal production kit 35-010 has markings for 2nd Armored Division, 67th Armored Regiment, 3rd Battalion, HQ in Sicily, July 1943. It does have the later bogies though.

I have the above kit and will not be using the decals.

Thanks for the info Saul. I was also going by the old Squadron Signal book on Eternity, It said Sicily,July 1943 :idonno I'll gladly take the decals off your hands.Please let me know what you want from them. I can always use them on the late 90's DML M4A1. :v
