Ok this Sherman is wrapping up one the last things to be added to the basic tank is the "MaDuce". I spruced up the kit 50 cal. with some wire and parts from the Mk1 Designs PE set.
Here's what she looks like after painting.
The basic tank is pretty much complete. Here are some images before I begin to add the stowage and the commander figure.
Next up the stowage. Comments and questions are always welcome!
Nice work on the .50. One thing you forgot is the trigger for the MG. I forgot to add this as well to the MG on my M4A3 but eventually added it with a piece of plastic stock.

Hmmmmm I'll see what I can do. That would be a really small part.
Here's a shot of the trigger mechanism. It's kind of shaped like a Y. In the pictures it's reference 5. Of course it's is indeed small and you don't have to add it but I thought I would mention it to you case you wish to do so. Great build thus far though. Love it. Dave.

Thanks for the info! I may have some PE bits that might work. Stand by!
Oh I was reminded yesterday that my "Deuce" didn't have the trigger so........
Last night I began to gather up some stowage for the Sherman and did some test fitting.
I think I have found the figure I'm gonna use. A rather irrate TC who is yelling and pointing his finger as if to say "GET OFF THE ROAD!". Add some goggels, radio equipment and "BAM" there's you TC.
Thanks for following along and comments are welcome.
Nice progress with the stowage, but I have one suggestion/comment: the wood box on the rear of the turret (on the holders of the 0.50 MG) is in a wrong place. It would brake the brackets of the MG barrel. The stowage on the inner side of the box top is not liflelike. How is it fixed to the top? In this position it is not accurate. I would place this box from its place to the engine deck. In my opinion it wolud be much better.

Well I think I have done all the stowage I'm going to do. We are getting on the backside of this little project. It's about time to crew up. Here are the latest pictures comments are welcome.
