Default M4A3 Sherman Jumbo

Few days ago I began to work on the Sherman Jumbo. I was lucky enough because when Nick let me know about the new project I still was working on my A3 chassis with VVSS ( Mato metal) suspension. I changed the goal of the project and will use the chassis still unfinished for this one.
The hull and turret are an flawless piece of work, I cast resin parts in the past and just looking the size and complexity of the hull make me to have fear. Good job Nick, I hope to have your Firefly soon.

Are you referring to the Idler set up or the whole back plate, exhaust, etc?

I see I missed the Idlers on my project page...
