Hi there. If you have no luck finding a Mato cast hull, there is a chap over there in the states that produces a more authentic looking large hatch cast hull from resin. The only draw back is that it is designed to mate with a Tamiya turret, or one of his own turrets that are again designed the Tamiya way.
And failing that, there is a chap in Germany that produces a small hatch cast hull out of resin, which is designed Heng Long/Mato turret compatible.

Im aware of the Nick Angular hull, but not quite sure where to buy. I’ve seen some on eBay but was worried they might be recasts.

I've sent you a PM of how to get a guaranteed genuine one.

Haya still has an entire tank listed or just the upper hull and turret. https://www.hayaltd.co.uk/ Just put M4A1 in the search box. Two of the 6 results do not have a "sold out" message on them.

Also if your that worried about resign parts take a look at my Sherman build. Upper and turret are resin lower is hl

Irritates the hell out of me that he states it's the perfect and correct model for a British firefly.

Glad I’m not the only one that irritates
