[MRCA] M50 Super Sherman - SCR-608 to be installed

[MARK DORNEY]

This is the Sherman undergoing restoration. In addition to engine work, we are slowly putting together an SCR 608 ( artillery radio, we know, but don’t want to upset those on 10 meters operating on CW by operating and SCR-508 ) and with a WW2 Sherman intercom system. Was a British Lend lease tank during WW2. Had a funky engine set up the Brits liked ( 4 engines connected to 1 crank shaft )  French got a hold of it after WW2 and up gunned it with a French copy of the German 75 mm used on tanks like the Panther. The Israelis put the late war suspension on it, and changed out the engine to a Cummins VT-8-460 turbo diesel.
