RE: "In The Mood" M4A1 76mm Build
Ethan:
Invest in a set of the nickel-silver shock-oil reservoirs. I see so many shermans with missing ones as the styrene ones snap off VERY easily.
I did this, and soldered the beasties to the casings, and despite grabbing it and feeling the bits under finger, have yet to pop one off. I ~lost~ 2 of the stock ones this way before I gave up and replaced 'em.
Ask about... its a popular metal upgrade.
And I agree about the bearings. Tamiya should have put bearings in the idler too... *sigh*
