Yeah, the original plan was that the engine deck would be hidden by the stowage, so I was going to leave it. But right before I took my modeling hiatus, I changed my mind and decided to change it to the A2 deck, hence the removal the tools. And even though it's an A2, I'm going for screen accurate, so it will be using an A3 board with the GAA instead of the diesel sounds.

Correct - Fury is an M4A2E8 irl but supposed to be an M4A3E8 :)
By the way, my hands still hate you because of the tracks. :haha:

Yes. But neither of those tanks, what it is and what it represents are anything close to the real fury tanks I know of, the only think the film got correct is one of them was in France. Neither of which were American or had 76mm guns. One was a french 105, I have it in a book some where the other a Canadian 75mm I haven’t stumbled across any others yet, though I expect it would have been a popular name
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Oh yes, I know about the 2 real historical Fury tanks, and I think I remember a possible third one, an early Sherman in North Africa, but it's been a few years and I can't remember where I saw the picture.

Rewatching Fury to see if tye A2 engine deck differences are visible, and the filler caps are, even in side shots. Still haven't been able to spot the doors yet.

And noticed for the first time that in the opening sceen, when War Daddy mounts Fury, the tank portraying her is a M4 with HVSS.

Yep. The doors are visible during the Tiger duel. I have to replace the engine deck.

I couldn’t make a fury tank. Because I found the film so bad I won’t watch it again
