"TANKERS TANGLE"

[Hippy Ed]

Mind the rules Terry laid out, no two the same, gotta have a figure and aftermarket.

I read this whole thread before I posted & didn't see any Tiger-I (early) posted. Need to see about figure(s) and some AM goodies before I can commit.

Just dug thru my Academy Tiger-I early version (kit#1348) and found it has some PE engine grill inside. Is that considered AM? Still need figure(s) for it.
Now to research the different Divisions on the decal sheet... :hmmm

Ed AM stands for aftermarket that means not included with the kit. In other words no, you must purchase the PE separately, comprendo ?

[Hippy Ed]

Ok, I'm throwin' my hat into the ring with the 1/35 Academy Tiger-I early version. a figure or two from the Tamiya 35201 and, on order, a Lions Roar barrel for it.
Does this meet the requirements Mr. T?

Thought I'd post these here for your viewing pleasure...

I took these pics myself. This use to be out front of LMC Scrap metal in Stockton,CA for years. It still stands out front of a business called White Cap.

hmy: And, you know this how??? I always thot it was a M4! :frantic I do have some detail shots as well...

 

[moon puppy]

Er...not sure. Guess we wait for someone who knows what they are talking about then. I'll be over in the corner


Looking on Wiki, don't think they had a M4 Light Tank. M3 and M5. Think the Hull is the biggest differences between those two.

I honestly don't know. I had posted this elsewhere & several people said it was the M4. When I took the pics, I was able to peek inside somewhat & this is an empty shell. Totally gutted out.

It's a M5 (Stuart VI). The biggest differences were the redesigned hull, twin Cadillac V-8 engines and automatic transmission. The M5 was originally designated M4 but is was confusing the Army.

Cheers,
