The M47 turret does not have easy shapes to repro, quite different than the M41.

There is an ongoing build on RCU.

I did the 3D printing for the project Louis posted the link for, I still have the stl files, but you'll need to contact Rich Johnson, get the name of the designer, contact him and get permission (I'm sure there's a fee), and then we can get you rollin'. There are a couple guys over there I'd trust to send the files to if they want to print them for you. I'm all about free sharing of files, and if this was my design I'd give them to you at no charge, but I promised Rich I wouldn't share these without permission from the designer, and you know how it is, once you give your word ... 8)

Also, you should take a good long look at Rich Johnson's thread. There is a LOT of work to get the lower hull right. It really is a huge project. Rich is knockin' it out of the park, but he's tearing out a few hairs along the way.
