20mm WW2 British Shermans for NW Europe

A troop of Shermans marked up as 27th Armoured Brigade.  75mm Sherman command tank is a PSC freebie with Torch, I think, while the other 75mm and the Firefly are Ready-2-roll resin castings.


The PSC kit, nice and easy to assemble.  All these vehicles are base coated in Russian uniform, washed in Agrax earthshade and dry brushed Iraqi sand.  Tracks are German camo black brown, washed in Agrax and dry brushed.


Ready-2-roll Firefly, some very minor bubbles to fill before painting, but a lovely model.


Ready-2-roll 75mm Sherman.


Another view of the troop.


There is a slight difference in size between the PSC and Ready-2-roll versions, with the PSC version being 2-3mm longer, although this isn't really noticeable on the tabletop.



The PSC commander - "Driver, advance right!"


So, all ready to roll off the beach head in Normandy and fight their way to the Seine.  But who am I kidding, I'm not enough of a zealot that I won't also use them in Holland and Germany, despite 27th Armoured being disbanded before the end of the Normandy campaign (their tanks were reallocated and just haven't been given the new markings in my universe).

Thanks for looking.
