They are listed under Skytrex on Warweb: link Peter Pig also makes one, available at Brookhurst. Hope that helps. The pricing may not be what you're hoping for, though. I did think about just adding some frames and intakes that could be dropped onto an appropriate Sherman, since I don't play a lot of Normandy games. It *looks* like it'd be a fairly straightforward project for the few needed. - Bob |

Are you going to provide duplicate "waterline" and full models? Are you going to provide duplicate full models with screens erected and screens lowered? Are you going to provide "string of water bubbles" markers for those that don't make it to the beach? This, to me, is a case where "appearance" clearly gives way to simple economy and a lick of (un-)common sense. I would find goodness in a representative piece of cardboard… Allen |

I own several of the Gaming Models 15mm Sherman DD tanks. Craig makes both waterline and full versions. Both are good looking and accurate models and at $4 USD painted you can't touch the price! |

Since I will be doing the 29th division, I will have no need for an oil slick with bubbles. Not that you would see either in the weather that day. |

Yeah, on Omaha, only two actually swam ashore. But then, do you really need to model DDs at all? Won't normal Shermans do? Allen |

I "need" what, 5? And Gaming Models are only $4 USD each. (I just found that out now.) They aren't as pretty as Battlefront, but you can't beat the price.
My preference would be Old Glory not much more with my OG Army card. |

Frankly, like Allen, I'd go with a cardboard mockup (just make the skirt, with a rough hull top inside and put your existing Sherman turrets on the hull top, then substitute a normal Sherman once they are ashore). But if you want to buy them, then the Peter Pig ones are nice models. I suppose I like building stuff like this, but not everyone does. |
