1/35 Sherman Brass Skids with Nuts & Bolts
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII

LionMarc Model Designs
LM60005

Sometimes I think that brass on plastic is the modeler's equivalent of lingerie on a woman. There's just something alluring about that warm metallic color against the cold dark plastic that…well, let's move on here.

This set combines two other Lion Marc products into a virtual Victoria's Secret for Sherman bogies. You get the graceful arching curves of the more accurately scaled skids, complete with pert bolt heads. The perky nuts and bolts give life to the flat and barren revised gudgeon pin mounts on the heavy duty vertical volute suspensions.

This is the ideal detail product for bogies in any plastic kit. You get six skids and 40 nuts and bolts units, enough to detail one tank (with a few spare nuts and bolts to sacrifice to the Carpet Monster).

If you like the convenience of aftermarket sets, and get all tingly at the sight of brass on plastic, this set is for you.
