Been plodding along quietly building this for a friend.

Tamiya chassis

Nick Aguilar cast hull

Tamiya Super Sherman turret

Lots of brass, schumo, aber and 3d printed bits.

Hope you like my progress :)

A very attractive hybrid, Adam, that is already packed with great potential :thumbup: It's also an optimal 'pic'n'mix' of bespoke tank parts and components :)

Unlimited potential on this great looking build, Adam. This will be interesting. Those brackets add a very nice tough, Nicely done.
