Looking good YHR.
Quick tip with the bearings and road wheels.Don't fix the hub cap on the inboard wheels,this way you can unscrew the wheel shafts to get to the bearings for maintenance.Also,make sure you use thread lock on the shaft fixing screws,inboard and outboard.If the outboard ones come loose once the caps are glued on (like mine did) it's a pig to fix.

Now this is what I have been doing to mine.
I made some mantlet fixing screws on the sherman turret from welding rod that has been slightly rounded at the end and a slot cut accross it.Then glued into holes.


With the mantlet on.


This next one is actually YHR's fault.He got me thinking about the casting numbers after he asked a question about them in hi sherman thread.
Added some to the nose.Sliced them off model kit sprue.



Cheers all.
