M4A1 (76) (LATE)

There is really nothing much to backdate. These were standard late model M4A1's. All A1's after tank 1225 had the oval loaders hatch and muzzle brake. The muzzle brake was not popular with crews in Europe, but some units retained them. Most late A1's were manufactured with HVSS suspension or were converted to it so this tank fits into small time frame within Sherman history.

Ok it's update time. Received some new goodies on Saturday in the form of new markings for the M4. I'm going to try out some Archer's casting numbers. I also did some painting on the lower hull. See what you think.

Here are some more turret details.

Thanks Fish!

Step 1: Paint the windows white.
