I know right?....it's kind of hard to put a finger on it...but it looks like the turret is too small..set back a little too much...and the hull is a tad too tall

Not sure...maybe it might be good to see if Jt can take some measurements when he gets his

Hi Alpha,
The more you look at it the more out of proportion it looks. Could be wrong I'm no Sherman expert but just not right some how!!. I have the FOV M4A3 that looks ok the hull on this one look much the same, paint and finish wise!!. Brian...

Good Morning, Brian,
I am well, older if no wiser. ;o) I looked at this and it did upon first glance look like the turret was set back too far. But then I remembered how I had thought that the HL gun mantlet on their Sherman was set out way too far and that the turret was too small. Shermans can look completely different taken from different angles because of the many different angles given to the bow plate and glacis with subsequent versions. I don't want to toss the baby out with the bath water just yet.
