Forgive my ignorance... what is/are the major difference(s) from Episode 4 and 5? I thought the tie stayed pretty much the same throughout.

Besides the color difference, the wings are not built the same way. Pilots are different too

BTW awesome work Michel, it will be a nice addition to your great collection !

Hello Michel, yes they are painted with the same color.

somebody would have this part or the complète kit for me it was not in the kit ! thank!

Its a Sherman bogie for sure Michel, cant recall but the Nice N bogie seems incorrrect to me anyhow, if your searching, discount the Tamiya M3 Lee and Grant, and the Monogram Mimi, both fairly close, but no cigar.

Best guess, its an Italeri or Monogram Sherman variant, ill look into it if i get chance, but im sure there are guys here that know off hand?

thank you very much Lee I am a big fan of your work but i put only occasionally a comment because i Have some difficulties with the english ! it's not my first language !and again thanks for informations !!!

Michel

Hah, cheers Michel, as i said a close call is the Monogram Screaming Mimi, but it does look a tad off to the part used on the prop.

Id bet Julien would be the guy to ask...he's got this gift of finding the really tricky stuff lol, but, if your in a pinch, i can send you a Mimi bogie over to (Belgium is it?) if you wanted to use it?

I'll check my kits with those VVSS suspensions, I'm pretty sure it's not from an Italeri kit though cuz the arms which support the wheels are separate parts !

Steve pmed me months ago that it's from a M10 tank destroyer.I don't think I have heard from him since.He will not answer my emails.
