We differ in speed, pictures and that I got the looks (my ears are in proportion).

Say no more

Apparently, we also differ in the concept of respect for our elders, (or lack thereof). Good job on the template, though. Must have been "inherited insight."

Worked on the rotor shield (mantlet? - I hear there is an issue there). Also worked on fenders/under hangs and diffuser.

Received a package from Hawaii. Either a care package, or somebody needs help posting pictures.

Good evenin',
Tremendous work done so far. Mantlet looks tall but I am thinking scale elevation and declination so it is fine. Following along. ;o)

Painless

LOL...That issue you speak of Ecam...was really not the issue Your Bro threw that one in (a lesson for all of us) while everyone was discussing the two flaps on the rotor shield when I was doing my Sherman build....The rotor Shield wasn't available then(except in resin ..which was a tad small for the HL turret)...so I made one out of copper...those flaps became a point of discussion....and to this day... are still an enigma ...............

Yours is a Mantlet...on the old Sherman the front piece is the rotor shield...the part that mounts to the front of the turret behind the rotor shield is the Mantlet...Go Figure lol

Here's a photo By the way....that build is really coming along
