M4A1 75mm DML






This is the DML kit from the 90's, I'm using a list of tweaks from Tim Streeters very useful web site to make some corrections and bring the kit to a somewhat higher level of detail. Besides the DML kit, I used Formations tools and early .50 MG, the towcable and the .30 barels are from Karaya.

The vehicle i'm trying to depict is one from the 1st Armored Division at Anzio in the spring of 1944. Somethings I noticed are that these 1st AD shermans used sparetracks as addon armor on the glacis, the .50 barrel clamp was relocated to the rear lefthand corner of the turret and they had a second camouflage colour aplied over the normal OD finish.
