Sheeeesh ---I can't believe it. Not much in my spare parts box will work on this project. I gotta scratch almost everything. Latex molding material, and resin casting material are on order and I can start to build styrene masters for the molds. I can use the road wheels off of one of my Mato Shermans to make a mold (after I modify a couple of them a little) but it will need everything else from the start, more or less. The suspension is exactly what is on the Stuarts, no help from a Sherman there. I have spare track that will work for a static model. The lower hulls are no problem, no turrets, no fenders, no nuthin' ---everything has rusted off. The engine will be fun, and I think I'm real close to mixing up some paint to match the photos, or at least come close.
