I think Ludwig's hobby has the gun for sale. Would look super cool for sureImage

The turret suits the Sherman, does it traverse ok without any body mods, looks a bit tight on clearance on front hatches
if barrel facing forward. :thumbup:

The t34 turret looks quite nice on the Sherman. Almost like it was designed for it.
