Nick Aguilar used to make the early M4 turret, but don't know if he still does. I did see this one for sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sherman-turret ... Swmi1ciQf0 It might be worth contacting him and seeing if you can buy just the mantlet parts to use on your turret.

Yeah he still makes them but I already started work on it now so will see what happens I’m sure I will eventually achieve the same result as a printer

For visual convenience, I turned those into these.

That’s better. So work so far filled the loader hatch as early turret didn’t have one and sliced the gun shield down to just the centre part. As you can see in the photo there is some file work to be done as it’s still a little wide. Will be filed down to just inside the bolt holes to start with. I have found a barrel in my stash that will suit now it’s been shortened

Re: Early m4a1
Mr Exhibitedbrute. Just what "Tips and Tricks" are you teaching us here
Is this going to be the start of an "Other Builds?" Or just a "General Questions?"

Re: Early m4a1
Teaching none. I’m asking for some. I will stick some photos up of where I have got to at some point. Not much more than that though I’m waiting for parts
