WS19 set installation in a Sherman M4A4

[Patrick Johnson]

Hi Tim,
I personally would be very interested in seeing any Firefly interior photos as my uncle was a crew commander in a LdSH Sherman in Holland. He was killed in his tank along with his gunner on 16 April 1945 and was awarded the US Bronze Star posthumously. However, please only post for the benefit of all, as I am looking more for an installation within the turret rather than the radio fitted in an armoured box outside of the turret. I believe the opening cut out of the back of the turret obscures a lot of the cables from view and I want to show everything in my simulated tank interior set up, hence my choice to go with the installation in a 75mm gun turret.
Cheers, Patrick

Here is a picture of one in a M4A2E8 if this helps.

LdSH?

I probably ought to have known what that acronym was, but had to Google it - new one for me... who was Lord Strathcona?

Do you have details of the action history?

I will dig out the pictures... but a pity you're not modelling his Firefly.

Do you have any pics of him with it you'd be happy to share?

Cheers

Tim
