This is a model that I have been wanting to build every since I first saw it hit the shelves. I have a personal connection with this one as my Dad served in the Korean War as both a US Army "Tanker" and a "Grunt".
I chose to add this one to the "Nose Art" GB since it has a rather fearsome looking "Cat" face on the front slope, which should qualify as "Nose Art"...
So now I have gathered up some reference materials, and plan on this journey as soon as I finish up a few other builds which should be done soon.
My Dad served in both the older Sherman tanks
and the M-26 Pershing's while in Korea.
Our Memorial Day Holiday is to remember the fallen service men and women who never came back home.
Sadly we lost Dad back in 2012.
Before I start this build, I will do a comparison review between this Korean War version and the earlier WW2 "Europe" version of the kits.
So please stay tuned, I'll try to get going on this one very soon. I wanted to get the build journal started today, as this day has a special meaning for many... me included.
