IHCM24 ◊ 2024-01-30 23:27	I work in the restoration shop for the National Museum of Military Vehicles. We have restored the two "Shermans". One of them is restored back to what it looked like for its use in the "Pacific". Only the paint scheme has changed. It is operational and we run it in the Dubois fourth of July parades. The second, we highly modified, changing its entire appearance. It now sits in our Iwo Jima Display at the museum. If anyone has any information regarding the original builds of these replicas, I would love to hear from you.
