That looks more like a movie set! Amazing picture.

Got the link on FB. Think it was Chuck who posted there. The pics are all awesome. That one is tagged as M4's but It looks like M36's I think. Or maybe M10's. Not really up on allied tanks, but definitely they are spg's and not M4 Shermans.

That yellow tarp that's tied down, I would guess it's a recognition marker, since no snow on it, they just got it. Don't think I've seen anyone model THAT much snow on a tank.

It is great to see some new pictures.
Every one holds some detail or reference.
They leave me hungry for more.
Thanks for linking that up.

let it snow, let it snow,let it snow,

Trust your instinct, they are indeed M36s.

The heavy Jumbo on the right and the light Stuart, what a contrast!

It would be a cool looking dio, do they make these two in 1:48?

 

[Sharkmouth]

For the M-36, there is a Gasoline conversion for Tamiya's M-10 kit. You can buy it at Track48.com...

I don't know of any 1/48th scale Stuarts. Perhaps we should ask Mike Reeves or Chad Lebo as it is their preferred armor scale.

Kengi makes a stuart. (Ken Swanson models)

Thanks Saul. The M10 have the bigger gun with no muzzle break??

M10 had a short 3 inch gun, the M36 a long 90mm.

Yup...John beat me to it That's the only version I could find...hoping Tamiya brings more of these early war tanks out in quarter scale...do we really need another panzer?? No offense
