There are several of us on this forum who have a very hands on knowledge of Shermans. Without that advantage it is very hard to get EVERY detail exactly right. The bomb thrower should not have a projecting tube, the three piece trans does not go with that hull, the road wheels are a post war design, grouser box vents facing the wrong way, the idler brackets are very wrong and many details are rather exagerated or slightly out of shape, Etc.

However this model reprisents a huge amount of time and work both in research and building and some serious craftsmanship to get it as good as it is. I for one congratulate you on achieving something that most people here could not or would not do. If you play with real tanks you don't have to worry about the exact shape of a casting as you have a real one to start with. Wether you built this from nothing or started with a commercially available model I think it is very impressive.

If you would like a private chat about some of the issues above, please PM me.

David
