Bison decals – go to https://picasaweb.google.com/bisondecals
you will need to have a account with picasaweb.
Just search for Johan Lexell.
Have high quality printable work sheets – great for markings and for paint jobs!
I have the Bison set for the NZ Shermans and no 105 markings did the kiwis have 105 shermans?
Or the British with their own SPG tanks.
Yup they did, check the site map under “photo references” for a link to a really handy kiwi website on what armour we’ve used over the years. Actually, it might be worth emailing him to see if he can point you ( Bart that is ) in the right direction.
anyone know any good sites for markings for NZ sherman tanks? Googling away last night and getting a few nibbles, but nothing that I was really after.
Aiming at italy, and looking for markings for a 105 howitzer version Sherman – or British if I can’t find a Kiwi 105.
and if I can find neither, bugger…
Bison make a few 1/35 decal sets that feature Kiwi armour in Italy, but sadly not any 105mm Shermans included
Someone did make a 1/72 set that had markings for a 105mm NZ Sherman, but I believe that set is way OOP.
Maybe you could contact Jeff Plowman through his website?
http://kiwisinarmour.hobbyvista.com/
I contacted David Waters who runs the Antipodean Armour website and he had this to say :
“The best source I have come across is Jeff Plowman’s “Camouflage & Markings of the Shermans in New Zealand Service 1943-45″
Also Bison do a set of decals for the 19th NZ Armd Regt, which includes a 105mm Sherman. http://www.angelfire.com/pro/bison/35105.html
Searching the National Archives online and the official war histories of the 3 Armd Regts will produce nothing extra what is in Jeff Plowman’s book. “
yep, 35145 sans crew. will let you know, cheers!
If it’s the new one with the crew you can find instructions for a lot of kits on http://www.1999.co.jp – this is for the new Tamiay FlaK 37 ( kit number 35302 ) – http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10088646 . If it’s for the old one ( kit number 35145 )and no-one has come to the rescue yet let me know, I think I have one in a box somewhere that I can hunt out.
little help please! – need instructions for a 3.7cm Flak 37 tamiya flak gun…
can fax them to me maybe or a scan and email?
