Default RE: The 1/6th Tanks Are Comming

Well here we go. I decided to start on the turrets for the 3 Shermans. One will be a Firefly and the other two will be just Shermans. I will get the actual designation for the other two Shermans from Geoff. I have removed the welded on cheek armor from the turret for the Firefly, the other two will retain them with some modification on shape etc. I have filled all the holes on the one turret. When I fill the holes I put a piece of masking tape over the hole on the outside then fill the hole from the inside with epoxy. When the epoxy cures I remove the tape and touch up any flaws on the outside with automotive spot putty. I find it much cheaper and a larger tube than buying Squadron putty etc.
Here is the 1st installment of pics. As always comments are most welcome..... Harold
