M4A1 SHERMAN EX-DD SWIMMING TANK IN 1/35TH SCALE FROM SCRAP - PART #1

In this three-part series I take a look at how you can build a unique model, an M4A1 large hatch Sherman ex-DD, or Duplex Drive, swimming tank. I kit bashed two Sherman kits back in 2012 and released this a premium download on the website. Now, I have uploaded it as a 3-part series for free on the channel.

Included in the video is reference archive of the real vehicle...

I can't believe this is over 12 years ago - time flies.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and remember, you don't always need to spend a fortune, sometimes an old kit and some ingenuity will do just fine to make that project you've had whirling around in your noggin.
