Building a support for the main switch, the volume knob and the onboard battery charger, which will be accessible through the driver and radio operator hatches:







Didn't like the little room inside the tank (mostly due to the recoil unit protruding under the turret), so I decided to saw away the battery box, built a new support plate in forex and found a new satisfactory layout for everything.
Also built a quick closing/opening system for the upper hull (didnt' like the screw system):





Texturing hull and turret parts using putty and acetone:



Cutting stencils out of paper and 0.5mm styrene:



After airbrushing, before final touches with oils and drybrush:



Today drybrushing time and -most of all- building and uploading the custom soundset for the sherman.
As usual I amused myself with battle and user sounds. I took from here the idea of 'Amazing Grace' added to the tank explosion and 'Halls of Montezuma' as a battle march
Also tested the battle system and checked that everything worked ok.
Last step left is putting all the luggage on....
