Re: New 105mm Sherman

Not yet, it was just announced with a release date of March. We'll probably see another paint scheme or two for the 105mm Sherman soon after as well.

Re: New 105mm Sherman

Very nice. I really like the Dragon Shermans. I think they are very well executed.

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to add this one to my collection.

Re: New 105mm Sherman

I have two of the Dragon Shermans and they are good looking. But, dang, I wish they had some form of metal in them.

Re: New 105mm Sherman

I'm taking a pass on these. I'm happy with my 90% metal Matchbox 105mm M4A3s. Now *those* are "diecast."

Re: New 105mm Sherman

I have a few Matchbox tanks and heaps of Dragons. I agree that it's hard to beat the weight of a true diecast model but I'm happy with my Dragon models as they may be lighter but they do have more detail, and there are so many of the little buggers. But personally I restrict myself to early, mid and late production versions of each mold as I'd get to depressed if I couldn't get all of them

Re: New 105mm Sherman

This one look good, but the next one in the winter camo looks even better to me. Sorry don't have pics, maybe Legio can oblige? I only have one Sherman, Phantom with the 76mm gun. The Sherman doesn't come across as a mean powerful tank. I'm more inclined to go for the ones with longer barrels and little more punch like the British 17 pounder Firefly.
