CHEETAH is a Sherman tank, as part of a memorial display along with a WWII naval deck gun and a Sabre jet in a parking lot. The ANAVETS Association of Sidney, British Columbia owns these and other artifacts in their museum.
I was given a finished 1/35 model of a Sherman and started to re-build it to resemble CHEETAH. After creating a replica of CHEETAH I wanted to display it as it is seen in the parking lot, therefore needing a car, which also gives a sense of scale. Hmmmmmm, not much out there, but I found a 1/35 Kubelwagen and changed it from WWII to the civilian "Thing" a Volkswagen vehicular venture a few years ago. One detail I enjoyed adding was a veteran license plate.
This "CHEETAH" diorama is in good company with many other dioramas in the museum.
I am not an "armor" modeller but enjoyed the challenge of creating a replica of a WWII tank that lives 15 miles from my home, cheers.
