- Agree

That was a common practice during hot battle time-just to improvise,like Mc Gyver:
"Hmm what do we have:glue,macaroni(pasta) and wood stick...so we can make a helicopter!"

Another example-> Shermans-but those used sand bugs and a welded construction of I or L shaped beams.
I Heard that they were nick-nammed 'corn'

Interestingly the Germans "solid" side skirts were replaced by wire mesh side-skirts as they were cheaper and quicker to produce and used less raw material and were just as efective as "solid" sdie skirts.
