Base kit is Italeri M4A3 76mm. Another turret rebuild. I first tried to use Verlinden oval hatch conversion piece. I glued the part in wrong and put the kit up for a long time. Pulled it out for kicks and went nuts trying some different things to get the turret shape a little closer to the real thing. I figure why not I'm only out time if it goes wrong. (I have a habit of working on a half a dozen Shermans at one time, not sure why I do that)

Took the kit supplied turret as the base and added parts from an old DML turret, plus some strip plastic

Added some texture and Archer resin casting numbers to the upper hull Started to add some detail to the suspension
