Oooops....Found out that when I opened the rectangular box it contained TONS of extra Parts I must use to complete this SHERMAN....OK breathe... Wow those are tiny screws....oh...I dropped one...Nobody MOVE
So I am Priming the metal Parts that are needed for the lower suspension and hull...There are MORE parts that I will prime and paint once the subassemblies are completed... For now here is the hull, sprockets, Suspension Arm, Idler wheels, and more.. "txtanker" recommended this Plasticote Finish primer for all metal parts and I have used it on my last 2 Tanks and it worked great....and it has been a very reliable product and also sprays on in a Fine mist and is relatively inexpensive at $6.00 a large spray can vs. Tamiya's small little rattle cans that are almost that much for 1/3 the product...
