Military Model Scene

One of the most popular 1/35 kits has got to be the Sherman tank, in it's various forms. Done to remember the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Star Decals have produce 4 sets of themed decals for them. All good quality water-slide decals and supported with a colour placement guide.

​

This set has complete sets of markings for 4 vehicles belonging to the 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry.
A - Sherman Mk II, 4th Armoured Brigade, at Grand Villers, France, in August 1944
B - Sherman Mk II Command Tank, from the HQ unit of 4th Armoured Brigade in 1944
C - M5A1 Halftrack, with the REME unit of 3rd County of London Yeomanry, 4th Armoured Brigade, landing in Normandy on D+1
D - Humber Scout Car, also with 4th Armoured Brigade, at Auxy-le-Chateau, France in 1944.

35-C 1244 Sherman Firefly

A - Firefly Mk Vc of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry
B - Firefly Mk Vc, 3rd County of London Yeomanry, 4th Armoured Brigade at Grand Villers
C - Firefly Mk Ic Hybrid, again from 3rd County of London Yeomanry, 4th Armoured Brigade

Four more Shermans in this pack, adding more variety to the selection of these 4 packs.

​

35-C 1245 British Shermans On the Beach
Markings for just 3 complete tanks in this one, but possibly the most interesting as these will be perfect for the Resicast kit as all of them are for DD tanks.
A - Sherman Mk II DD, Nottinghamshire Yeomanry (Sherwood Rangers), 8th Armoured Brigade, Gold Beach, D-Day
B - Sherman Mk V DD, of 13th/18th Hussars, 27th Armoured Brigade, Sword Beach on D-Day
