| Subject: | Re: Sherman kitbash possible? |  |

"Is it possible to kitbash the Dragon Firefly Iv turret with the hull of an Italeri M32 recovery or Italeri M4A1 hull, the cast one:)"
NO, there were only Firefly conversions on M4A4 and M4 (56° and hybrid/composite/Detroit built) hulls
"I was wondering if there where any recovery shermans with the Firefly sherman hull type?"
On M4A4 chassis, few if any as these went to Lend Lease and the M32 was primarily used by US units
"and do I have to swap the suspension from a vss to a hvss type?
Any other pointers?"
The HVSS recovery versions were postwar
"could I take the turret of an achilles and mate it to a sherman hull?
and use the hull of that achilles as a prime mover?"
No and no as the prime mover version was on the M10A1 hull and the Achilles on an M10 one
"I know there was a variant of the M10 tankdestroyer build on a regular sherman hull"
no, it was the M36B1
