Help finding reference photos :)

Post by BrummieModeller »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find reference photos for my Sherman calliope tank build as I'm not sure weather the decals in the kit are right or telling me to place them in the right places :scratch:: :think:

Does anyone know where I maybe able to find decent photos I could use to find better placements of the decals (in colour if possible)

Any help greatly appreciated :mrgreen:

Thanks
Dan

I think pages 38,39,60,61 & 64 may just be what you're looking for Dan ;)

HTH mate :D
