The Shermans are growing on me. I think this is a fantastic build also.

Yes I did see them, thanks and I have printed it to hang on my "I love me wall."

Ethan,

When you were installing these, did you happen to get the measurement for the inner diameter of the bearing on those final drive covers?  Looks like they might have an application with some HL tanks, too.

Thanks,

Kit is vintage 105mm but has two new sprues, E and G, that contain the m51 turret. You the metal barrel and elevation/ recoil hardware too. Aside from that, all you need is a few nick nacks to make it work, metals buts for traverse roller bearings and elevation, but I modified my elevation with bolts so I could service it.
