1/16 Sandbagged Shermans of the 14th Armored Division
A very large set of decals covering well-known sandbagged M4s on the ETO, practised particularly by the 14th AD. A number of the sandbagged M4s were of the long-gun variety, mostly M4A3E8 "Easy-eights" and M4A3 (76) W. While a number were void of markings other than the stars there were several that had their bumper codes stenciled onto the barrel itself. The stencils were larger than the usual bumper code types and have a unique style that hasn't been replicated (in fidelity) in 1/16. This set attempts to capture all the known styles used by the 25th and 47th Tank Battalions down to the finer details. 6 specific vehicles are featured in this set, 5 had their barrels coded (you can find the references on the internet and in books with ease).
