RE: "In The Mood" M4A1 76mm Build
More work on turret. I had to remove the underside of the resin turret in order to replace it with the turret ring from the Sherman kit. This was the only way I could balance it out and with a little refinement it works perfectly now. I made a decision to skip recoil on this Sherman variant as the stock Tamiya MFU/DMD has the correct engine noise for an M4A1. I refined the pivots for the mantlet with some leftover Pershing parts and used the Tamiya elevation arm attached to the new turned 76mm Barrel. Added a small counterweight and so far it works. The only wrinkle is I have to get the barrel length right before I lock everything down.
