Not that I would insult your admirable work, but have you considered buying a new hull and turret? I have contacted AAF Museum in the US, they are great about getting in parts for teh Sherman- even for my first gen, hull and turret would only cost me $26 US. I've already ordered replacement tires from them- less than $20, and this is for a 1974 release (the RT1601, or 56001 if you prefer).

What did you use to weaken/release the glue? Sure seems to have worked....

I have orderd alot of parts from axel model in Germany i think i can save hull and turret i was lucky really most of it fell apart the rest i cut off

its taking shape dog, dont forget, rome wasnt built in a day, i know this 'cos i was the bricky ,. will have the moulds for transmision case made in next couple of days, so will pm you when they are made

Great work.Looks nicely detailed.
Well done.
Have you textured the turret?Or is it just my eyes.

Thanks for your comment I have tried to texture the turret ,before the primer dry's I stipple it with a hard brush then using the handle I put dents and other marks in then leve for 24 hour . The good thing is if it turns ouy crap you can easly sand it off
