RE: Getting crazy with an IDF Super Sherman
Andrew, considering the work envolved, you may want to order the Tammy M-51 turret. It looks good, it's just many things on the chassis that Tamiya screwed up. Here are some views from two M-51 models, one A1 and one A3 chassis.
The one in darker French OD (א= Alef) is an older Tammy bottom with MATO upper. The two chassis match up easy. Both are great looking tanks to model. Good luck. Bill
