sorry but I didn't take any new picture of the Panzer IV, as it is now in a darker place than before. The museum now displays 2 LVT-4s and a Daimler Dingo.

Here is a Fisher-built M4A2 which is restored to running condition, I saw it yesterday but didn't take any picture myself :

Where did they find factory-fresh looking tracks? the look brand new. Refurbish or someone actually make them? _________________ Guy

Wow! Come to think about it, I saw many trackless Shermans on some webpages so I hope that someone thinks about buying some sets to complete some Shermans because without them they look silly. guy _________________ Guy

yes but these new tracks are expensive, you could easily buy a nice car for the price of this pair of tracks.. _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates
