OK, where did the "edit" button go?

While I'm at it, here is another one on a British Sherman (also found on the Cromwell) Is it a fire extinguisher?

Thanks again,

Bill

The second item, on a Sherman MkII, is a bromide fire extinguisher.

This is a late model addition. It contains a first aid kit.

Thanks Terry and Saul for your quick replies.
Take a star out of petty cash. :laugh:

Thanks,

Bill (who only has one walk-around/in-action book (Tiger I))

Bill,the first aid kit was only present on M4A3 HVSS that I've seen... HVSS (horizontal volute suspension system) being the later style suspension units...

So I guess my question is: How do you get to it, when your Sherman looks like a ronson lighter?
That is after the Tigers/Panthers or whatever German SPG has made swiss cheeze of them :evil:
:idonno
Just a question?

Brad, I have the Dragon 6354 kit. It is the M4A3 HVSS (105) kit which includes this piece of equipment.(And those PE fenders which are going to be a pain I'm afraid. :pinch:

Shawn, I had the same thought. It's just kind of hanging out there ready to have it contents shot up. hmy:

Thanks again,

Bill

Maybe that's for the Infantry, since the Sherman was an Infantry Support Vehicle?
