Hello Peoples,

i´m brand new here, and i was reading a lot the last time here. It´s a very interesting side!!

Now, meaby you can help me. I´m interested in all Tanks at Korean War ( US & USMC ) cause i try to buildt, the important types, as remote controled Models ( Scale 1:16 )

Also, i have two books:
- Korean War 1950-53, Concord
- ARMOR in Korea, Squadron

Here are my first three Korea Models

M4

Ok, i know it´s an 76mm, not an 105mm, but this was one of my first tankmodell also.

Wow, those are good.

The Soviets supplied the N. Koreans with T-34/85s, and the Americans supplied the S. Koreans with M-24 Chaffees, M-26 Pershings and M-46Pattons, as well as the M-8 Greyhounds. The English supplied the S. Koreans with Curchill VIIs, Centurions, Cromwell A27Ms, and Comet A34s. The Canadians sent the M10 Achilles 17-pounder self-propelled gun, but they were replaced by the Sherman.

Too lazy to find more... ;)

do you make from kits or do you make those from scratch? I also like your paint job.

Nice models, but for the Sherman, I think you mean it's a 75mm (which was pretty much gone by the Korean War), and not a 76mm HVSS model...

Also, the first US tank deployed was the light M-24 Chaffee. They initially battled the T-34 and it did not go well...:(

Actually, the Americans didn't supply the S. Koreans with any tanks (prior to hostilities in 1950) at all as far as I can tell. Neither did anyone else, though they may have had some left over Japanese tinboxes..

They also had few anti-tank weapons and little in the way of artillery...
