You should have renamed yourself 'shermanator' :D

Love your Sherman builds. I will buy one of them one day.

LOL...Bet you don't miss having to scratch build those parts now :haha: ...I like the adjusters....bought a metal hull for my Valerie I / Kei I....haven't made the switch yet...will probably do it soon as this being the new year...think it's time to settle in with a Firefly build...not going to follow how many have modded the Hull...going to try a different route as one thing I noticed is how the front wheelset rides a little too close to the front sprocket ...that tensioner will be a nice addition to that one being it is long in the tooth ;)
Hope you will be able to follow along and toss in a tip or two...always respected your opinions :thumbup:

You sound a lot more relaxed so to say....did "Flying" have that much of an impact ;) ........ :D

Oh...I thought you might have sold the FURY...there was an inquiry a week or so before I came back....someone gave him your contact info ...But that's besides the point...Glad you chose to keep those two ...they were real Masterpieces :D
