Good news - my parts are on the way!
They had to be returned by Axels to be cleaned up by the manufacturer.
Hopefully I can make some progress and prime the upper hull.

Re: Tamiya M4A3E8 Up armoured
I love the look of the up armoured Sherman. Such a beast. I am building an Easy from the SOL kit. Wish I knew about the Andys kit 
Ad Lav, I am intrigued about the side armour with the gap between the up armour plate and the hull. Are there any reference photos for this configuration. To me its like a Chobham type pre detonation plate before hitting the real hull. Has me interested.
