Lafayette Poole ( War Daddy) And Audy Murphy's Sherman and M-10

[Pickelhaube]

Hey Guys,

I just finished these , a M4A1 76 W (wet) and the mid production M-10

Poole was the REAL "War Daddy " who was the top tank ace of the U.S . and Murphy won his Medal of Honor on the back of a burning M-10.







I have heard that you can not do anything with a Bravo Team Sherman but you can.
I converted Bravo's M4A3 early to a late M4A1 76 W(wet).
A lot of modification went into this.
I make the early M4A1 casted hull as well as the newer T-23 turret , but I needed to make the late version so I scratched the hull for this consignment.

Here is a before and after side by side.

Wow doesn’t seem good enough as the first word to say but it’s exactly what popped into my head when I opened this thread. You are an amazing artist sir! 🫡

While I don't really mess with the WW2 stuff, this is awesome! Great work for sure. And I just watched a mini-documentary about the real life war daddy yesterday coincidentally enough...

Thanks Yautja for the kind remarks and the video lead.
