The Taigen one is nice, just so damned heavy!

I like 'em heavy... The heaviness makes them move more realistically IMO. Might be just me. I have big batteries so the extra weight doesn't affect runtime.

That's a cool change in the direction (or a field mod of your original plan).

Re: Tamiya M4A3E8 Up armoured
Made a little progress using some detail parts from the AHHQ Sherman.
Kinda wished I’d stuck with the Andy’s turret completely but with it not fitting the cast hull I had a change of heart.
Awaiting Schumo light guard set before I can prime and check for any sanding to do.
.30 and .50 cal mounts on the turret roof ready for the machine guns.
Well, no Schumo stuff arrived but I have managed to prime and base coat the lower hull and turret!
.30 cal and .50 cal offered up to their new mounts.

Re: Tamiya M4A3E8 Up armoured
Thank you - almost there but sadly still no Schumo parts which is why no progress has been made!

Have you placed an order? Schumo does not produce new parts until new orders come in.
Re: Tamiya M4A3E8 Up armoured
Yes. Felix had the parts but they weren’t cleaned up for selling so he sent them back

Re: Tamiya M4A3E8 Up armoured
They have a strange production policy for these parts. I recently waited 5 months. But it's worth it because they don't compare to plastic ones.
