I've read that the Tamiya FO Sherman doesn't have recoil actually. Something about the turret being too small. T23 and Firefly turret conversions often seem to have a Pershing recoil unit stuffed in.

It Doesn't?????????????????? 8O What a rip off :haha: :haha:

Anyway...that's why the Tamiyas make good project tanks ...the turret still has plenty of room for the micro servos that power the recoil and elevation ;)
Also the reason Nick Aguilar's parts work better with Tamiyas than any other brand of Sherman :D

There's a reason it's the cheapest Tamiya kit after-all. :haha:

SPOILER ALERT: I ordered Nick's parts today.
