Bit of work on the back end today folks.

Not really much to explain here as you can see it all

Gentlemen I am told the mantlet is almost ready and will be available for standard hl recoil units or air soft as well as servo recoil units. Photo will be posted when I go and fetch mine

The wait is over

Looks good. Beats trying to carve it from stock plastic.

Might just need to take the edges off it to finish it off.

Need a bit of a sand to reduce the print lines and the screws putting in but otherwise turret almost done

Young man. Did you get this little vent with your hull?

I did not mr gunner I cut it off and old Tamiya top I bought and cut the air ducts off some time back. It’s not exact but it looked a closer match than the turret vents.

I don’t really rate Tamiya as a whole but they are good for cutting bits from if you can get it cheap enough

Ah, ok, thanks for that. At least I know there wasn't a part missing.
That part must come on a Tamiya Sherman sprue, I must check to see if I have them.

Nope. I cut it from the upper hull just behind the turret inside the flash guard

Oh, are you talking about cutting this detail out of the hull (centre of picture).
