I'd love to build something along the lines of the Sexton.
The closest I've found to WWII is the T68. This is an updated version of the Sherman Badger.

Sherman self propelled artillery variants on M4A3E8
Does anyone know of any WWII self propelled artillery or ARV variants that were built on the M4A3E8 chassis? I know the IDF have made a load of variants post war.

Technically the M40 was created at end of WW2, but I think was too late for WW2 and was only used in combat in Korea. Would be an interesting variant - esp that big 155mm gun! Tamiya makes a nice 1/35 scale kit for reference.

Re: Sherman self propelled artillery variants on M4A3E8
Thanks. I'd seen that one but it fell right after and they used a slightly lengthened chassis. I'm getting a T68 turret machined up anyway as it's an easy swap between the supplied full turret and that without most people knowing. Will make the MG detachable and replaceable with the flamethrower so I can switch between option. Won't be entirely accurate but I do like the ARV / APC profile and it'll be something a little different to alternate between at shows. Just keen to see what else could be done.
