It is great to see the floor through the open-top turret. My Mato M10, of course, lacks any interior detail, but after many hours of fiddling a few years ago, at least I got it running decently. But sapper23, you build will be superb!

Thanks bro, I will try for sure... Sort of Ginniepig here too see if can work... Will also do a writeup at end of build saying basically what I would do differently next time so on to help others if they want to attempt this.

Yes it will be interesting to see how you do this. I have an AHHQ Sherman Easy 8 kit that I have used to cannibalize for small detail parts because it was far cheaper to do that than get all of them shipped from all over the world if I could even find them. So that leaves me with about 99% of the kit just doing nothing. If it can be made rc that would be cool. That floor plate looks great
