Modeling the Sherman Tank in 1/72nd Scale |
inTech Decals Article by Doug Chaltry; last updated 24 November 2007. This is a much more substantial book than the British Tanks in North Africa, with much more vehicle information and a greater number of vehicles included. My best count is 37 tanks and other vehicles, though that seems unlikely given the number of decals included. Granted, several of the vehicles actually have no markings, and color profiles are included only for information. My booklet came with two decal sheets, unfortunately, they are both the same sheet (pictured below). I suspect that the second sheet was supposed to contain other markings, since this sheet only has less than half of those indicated in the book, and there was probably a packing error for this particular sample. Too bad, because these are very nice decals. There are supposed to be markings included for Polish vehicles of all years in WW II, including the Invasion of Poland in '39, with the Western Allies, and some with the Soviets on the Eastern Front. Specific Sherman subjects (and variants) include:
The decals are printed very thin, and with sharp and vivid colors. Overall the registration is very good. There are several choices here, and with the help of some additional reference material (and a complete set of decals), these should allow you to build almost any Polish vehicle during WW II. By the way, if some of those decals look a little large, that's because this set contains decals in both 1/72nd and 1/35th scales. |
