Re: M4A3E8 Sherman
Nicely done
I did one many years ago and noticed 2 things you may want to change to be more correct.
The v8 engine units did not have the air intakes by the rear lift rings and some plates were welded on for the hull top engine doors to rest on when opened.

I knew about the air intakes but not the engine deck stops!
Thank you!

Re: M4A3E8 Sherman
Glad I could be of some help. Whether or not you do any changes you built a very good looking unit with an excellent paint job 

Re: M4A3E8 Sherman
I may hide the vents with stowage lol 
The stops should be easy to do.
Thank you again, it's a lovely tank to use!

Re: M4A3E8 Sherman
That is a good idea and shouldn't be hard to do.
I don't remember if the vents were molded on or separate part glued on. I'd suggest you slice off the tops of the vents if molded on then use stowage to cover the resulting holes that way your stowage item could be flat bottomed.
Mine runs great to. I bought it used with no internal parts other than HL drive motors and steel gearboxes had been installed in it.

Just applying a track wash and some dust/dirt to the tracks - much better.
