Etoarmor.com also carries alot of great metal detail parts.
I would also reccomend that you upgrade the turrert on your tank since the mato one is fairly ugly and not right.
christian lidwig makes one or you could put a taigen turret on like I am working on doing.
​​​​​​​have fun.

I always liked the M4A1 with is cast-rounded upper hull. I wish someone would start making one again - Actually, that may be something for Erik/IMEX to look at?

A QUICK NOTE.......not happy with the MATO airsoft unit. It started misfiring almost immediately. Except for that its a neat tank.

Like i said, 130 is bucks for a taigen 76mm turret. But problem is it wont just fit right on the a1 hull, you will need to cut the hole in the hull bigger like i did and move the rotation gear box.
or you can cut the circle out of the bottom of the turret, then cut the circle out of the bottom of the mato turret and affix it to the taigen turret. ive done that twice now. Its some work but it can be done fairly well.
