American Armor and Recon attacking the German lines The American's attack! leading are two 21c M-5 Stuarts followed by a Hasbro M-8 Greyhound. Moving up in support is a Plastially Anything M4A3 Sherman. Providing support is a "Hasbro" 3 inch antitank gun and crew (bash of the 155, came out nice and uses 50 cal shells as ammo!) In the rear you can see the new radio jeep and a command jeep with our American general and staff. In the back is the unloaded SunnySmile troop truck/prime mover for the 3 inch gun. The infantry is my platoon of 3rd Infantry and a mix of recon and Ranger units. The PA Sherman is in the very early stages of getting new wheels and superdetailing. SEE PIC BELOW FOR CLOSEUP OF 3-INCH ANTITANK GUN |

CONVERSION OF HASBRO 155 INTO A U.S. 3-INCH ANTITANK GUN BELOW IS A PIC OF MY CONVERSION OF A HASBRO 155MM HOWTIZER INTO A U.S. 3-INCH ANTITANK GUN. THE GUN BARREL IS REMOVABLE FOR TRANSPORT AND IT USES 50 CAL SHELLS FOR AMMO! NO MAMBY-PAMBY 37MM GUN FOR SWATTING TIGERS AND PANTHERS, THIS IS SERIOUS ANTI TANK POWER! |

PLASTIC PANZERS CONTACT: TIMSHARONLOEB@CS.COM FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ABOUT ANY OF MY CREATIONS. I AM MORE ARTIST THAN ENGINEER SO THEY ARE EACH A SOLITARY AND UNIQUE PIECE OF WORK! I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD SOME UNIQUE "STUFF" LATER ON SUCH AS POSSIBLY US/GB 57MM ANTITANK GUNS, AIRBORNE TRAILERS (HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT WHEELS), AND AT LEAST ONE RUSSIAN KV1 HEAVY TANK WITH A KV-2 TURRET OPTION. SOME OF MY WORK I WILL OFFER FOR SALE (I NEED MORE ROOM!) AND TO PUT SOME MONEY IN MY WIFES RETIRMENT FUND AND TO HELP PAY FOR THE NEXT PROJECT! |
