Sherman Tank In 28mm scale by Rubicon Models.

Here is Rubicon's very nice 28mm scale plastic Sherman tank.
This was a mostly simple and straight forward build. I show how I managed to use both turrets.

I really like this channel. Not a lot of people do 28mm models.

[@sammymold3556]

What scale is 28mm?

[@chuck11duck64]

@@sammymold3556don’t mean to dig this grave up, but 28mm is 1/56

Though most people would not notice it (read: anyone who doesn't read way too much eastern front history), the Soviets actually used M4A2 Sherman hulls with updated welded front plates that look basically identical to the M4A3 hull from the front. The the M4A1 and M4A3 hulls use a petrol burning engine, while the Soviets used diesel and thus wanted the M4A2, which has a different engine and engine deck (differences only visible from above). The US Marines and the British also used the M4A2, as they both used diesel instead.

Cost of kit: $0 Cost of silicone mould and resin: >$0 Savings of casting vs buying a second kit: Outlier case, should not be counted.

I was thinking about starting Winter Americans as my next Bolt-Action army, so this has helped my decision thankyou

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Billy McQueen That sounds pretty cool. Glad to help! Share some pics when you get started!

my tamya glue dosnt seem to want to work. what glue do i use? (brand)

[@uglyelf1]

I don't think any 105mm armed shermans were sent to the Soviet Union.

[@fharbord]

Is there still a (Rubicon) set, that offers both 76 and 75mm turrets?

[@ethan5354]

Have you ever done a damaged tank? You should make the Sherman with the dodgy turret gaps a damaged tank with a big hole on the side. Nice review, cheers!

[@ethan5354]

+Ethan Ton Or, do a Fury model. That would be cool to see on the tabletop.

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

I did a German captured Sherman for mine. Was a fun build.

[@Dervan]

Great review and some very nice work with the casting of parts for the second turret

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Dervan Thanks! Now I can make as many Sherman hatches as I want! Hooray!

[@ChairmanMjau]

The Soviet, just tend to paint a red star (I guess to differ from the allied star) on their lendlease material. I haven't heard of Soviets with 105mm gun Shermans. Also the Soviet used the diesel version of the Sherman, i'm not sure there are any visible difference? This mean you could use this kit both for soviet and US (and probably also UK forces) depend how you paint it.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+ChairmanMjau Yup. As another commenter mentioned the main difference is the engine and different hatches and grilles on the engine deck. For someone like me it's close enough. It doesn't seem like the soviet way to waste time and paint repainting lend lease tanks other than adding a red star and a slogan or two I guess.

[@boroberts9698]

do you like bolt action or flames of war more?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Bo At the moment I'm more interested in Bolt Action, though I couldn't say I strongly prefer one over the other.

[@boroberts9698]

+Herbert Erpaderp Thank you very much. I am still fairly new to flames of war but I like the Idea behind Bolt Action, so I would like to get into that game at some time. Very nice video!

[@lok3kobold]

the Brits definable used the lower velocity 75 gun both in Africa, Italy and in Normandy. They called it the Sherman V and later adapted a variant with the British 17pdr called the Sherman VC

[@merrick3627]

Do you have any painting tutorials? There aren't a lot of will scale youtubers out there, and even less that show painting. In currently painting a Canadian army and am finding it difficult getting anything to reference.

[@alessiodecarolis]

For the rear door you could glue some bits of plasticard, so it didn't"crash" on the interior . Interesting model .

[@DatOneAsianKid]

Should i get a M10 Wolverine platoon or a M24 Chaffee platoon?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+GamingWithJacob342 I would say both... But really I guess it depends. Which do you think is cooler? I'd probably choose the Wolverines.

[@seandickie6289]

[@andyoertig2007]

This is the "now" discontinued Sherman Kit....BUT still a Good Video! IF you have this kit, the Hedgerow Cutter is standardize but a different version on the new Rubicon Kits! I like this one much better! As far as casting... FYI The new Rubicon Sherman Kits have a slightly larger Hatches! Also, consider wearing some "cheap" disposable rubber gloves. For a Great Sherman Webpage... Check out "Sherman Minutia Website" the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minutia/index.html Disclaimer: I have NO Association with the website.... Just Great Info on the Sherman's (Large & Small hatchets) ENJOY!

The brits never used 105 shermans (or 76)

[@steve08717]

6th armoured division had Sherman 2a s with 76 mm in italy 1945 and one 105 attached to each hq squadron called 1b s

[@SgtOddballz]

great video :)

[@dark_messenger]

Wait. 28mm scale?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Yes.

[@dark_messenger]

@@HerbertErpaderp, it's smth like 1/56 or less?

[@Jim-ho3eg]

I have a small issue with your disclaimer and I hope it will make sense to you so you can adjust it in the future. Being entirely open about getting it free is fantastic and you should 100% do this and encourage others to do the same. The issue is where you claim you're going to judge it as you would any other kit. This is impossible to do, because the fact that you got it free, changes the value of the kit in your mind. Either you will undervalue it because it didn't cost you anything or you will over value it because it's a one time special thing that stands out to you. I understand what you're trying to say, but the way you phrase it is inaccurate. Just stating you got it free and you're going to give it a fair run down is enough, no need to make factually inaccurate statements about how you review it. Saying you got it free covers your ass and lets us know your opinion maybe tainted (for lack of a better word) and what that entails either way for us.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Broken Colony I see what you're saying and I think you're being a bit pedantic.
