Oliver Hyett Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 they used mainly cromwells and churchills but they also used the funnys which can be scratched built from the churchhill and shermanusing the churchhillusing the sherman here are some links to the models you can buy from these pics on the airfix websitehttps://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/vehicles/military-vehicles/churchill-bridge-layer-1-76.htmlhttps://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/vehicles/military-vehicles/churchill-mkvii-tank-1-76.htmlhttps://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/vehicles/military-vehicles/cromwell-iv-tank-1-76.htmlalso there used to be a crocodile(flamethrower) and a crab tank(last picture) but they retired last year but they have great detail stillhope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The British used Sherman Tanks too. The 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry had three Shermans and a Firefly to a Squadron and had White Half Tracks in support roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yug Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Wow, that has given me plenty of ideas. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoFF03 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The only available landing craft are the LCM3 (used by British and US forces. with subtle differences) and the LCVP which was primarily used by the US. I don't believe there is a kit of the British LC(A). The LCT (landing craft.tank), LCI (landing craft, infantry) and the landing ships that would bring in the bulk of the forces will be quite large in 1/76-1/72 scale.
