and pattoncommander, thanks for the advice, i dont know where i can get the plastic needed, and about the gun, isnt the HL barrel too wide? so why extend a faulse scale barrel?? and is the super pershing in your pictures a HL or tamiya, and about the turret hatch i cant get one from a sherman, as i dont have one let alone a spare!! also im a bit stupid so i didnt fully get the brrel lengthening part!!

thanks anyway pattoncommander, your advice is much appretiated!

thanks,

Matt
