There's not too many more pics I'm afraid. This was a strange build, I didn't really enjoy it as I took a lot of stick from a couple of guys on another forum because, for reliability, I used a Pzr3 sprocket, and how I should have scratchbuilt one, even though I don't think these "experts" have done much more than sprayed a couple of Heng longs so it was just a case of get it finished and sell it on, (to someone who's very happy with it).
...as to the turret it's just plasticard with a lot of filler/sanding to the cast "nose".......

its a great work nicely done , three years ago i saw a real chaffee next to a sherman ... it looks as if yours is a little to big ... but still its beautiful scratch work
what i remembered of the chaffee he was even tiny against a sherman (105mm) honestly i was disappointed then of it ... can it be a bit to width or is that optical disillusion ?
this year he will be back on Wings and wheels in 23-24 august i bet ... but still my favourite although a hellcat is the max ...
well done mate
