Hello again! In this three-part series I take a look at how you can build a unique model, an M4A1 large-hatch Sherman ex-DD, or Duplex Drive, swimming tank. I kit bashed two Sherman kits back in 2012 and released this a premium download on the website. Now, I have uploaded it as a 3-part series for free.
