Hi Alpha,
Yep sure will. Been putting the casting numbers on the hull and gear cover still got some to go on the various hatches and turret then I can set about painting her sand grey UA20 this was the colour from 1961 to 1973 this is all on the IDF web site so should be right
. Can't wait to get her Finnished now.So near then I can get on with my M4A3E8.from FURY.Thats why I need another tam M4. Got the T23 turret so almost there. Regards, Brian...

Thanks Brizo... Hope they make designated Categories... I think it would be great to have all the Shermans on one and the Tigers on another...what's fun is seeing all the variants in one place

Has it been posted? It's probably sitting in the post office with a customs charge on it. Had a similar issue with some gearboxes from the states.

Hi Alpha,
No I've given up any hope of getting it now
looks like it will go in the loft and forgotten.Had such high hopes for it.Put so much work into it not to see it finished hurts. Don't want to mod another turret I want the right one. Still what we want a what we get are not the same. I love this hobby and always have the 50 odd years I've been doing it but when this happens I could put it all in the bin.Brian...
