Default RE: One more M4A3 conversion.

This Project was a part by part build with the components coming from all over. Not the most efficient way to build one of these but I will share if it helps.

MATO Sherman and VVSS components from RCTANKWARS
Tamiya metal hull and Plastic upper hull from JR-RC off Ebay
Tamiya Pershing Electronics from JR-RC
Metal 75mm barrel, Resin transmission cover and exhaust deflector from Nick Aquilar directly.
Tamiya 105mm turret left over from an easy eight project custom modified to 75mm with DAKs very own resin M34 Mantlet and Rotor shield.
Spare detail parts from my Parts box and a few Tamiya trees acquired off EBAY.
Gear boxes and hull components from a second hand Sherman off ebay.
Sherman speaker box from a trade with a club member.
Dx-5e radio and AR500 off craig's list acquired from a club member.
Tamiya machine gun bag, decals, and .50 cal machine gun from Finishline hobbies.
Metal elevation arm from ETO armor.
Scratch engine deck.
Battle System base bought from Tamiya online.
Emitter from Impact acquired in a trade.
Marking came from Tamiya decals and various dry transfers found at the local hobby shop.

I scavenged the MATO for several detail parts and scratch built the rest from brass rod, steel wire, aluminum tube, Taco Bell paper napkins, scale chain, and old Photo etch frets.

Check out the DAK website for the Projects page to see all these items in detail.
