Hello, and thank you for the answer and the pictures :thumbup:
I am writing off the plates on the sides of the upper frame, as well as the right side of the turret seems to me ? I own a Sherman Tam, and I admit not really knowing how the improve, even if very nice achievements on this forum, good day

Looking at this on the Shadock site, it appears to have been one inch thick. Therefore 1.5mm will work :thumbup:
