The Taigen turrets, 75 and 76mm are both slightly oversized, I suspect to compensate for the BB barrel size.
Yeah, I like mine better of course lol. My silent partner Rick Bratt drew the turret up from scale plans along with the HVSS and then I worked with him to make the adjustments to make it fit and run RC well as any operating scale model this small a scale must be fudged a little here and there.
The transition at Chrysler from the split hatch to the oval hatch took place in October '44. I dont recall exactly what month they did at Fisher body and Pressed Steel Car co. (Though PSC only made A1 76 tanks if I recall right)
Then you have the rebuild program after the war where the US Army did its best to completely get rid of any HVSS 75mm sherman and have it converted to a 76mm sherman so its hard to track by serial number now.
