The sides of the hull have been glued in place and the tops sanded level with the sponsons. The rear engine wall has had all the components fitted and I have started to test fit the escape hatch and storage on the floor. The starter motor has also been fitted to the drive tube.

Very delicate work nicely done

This next part was a bit delicate. The driver figure comes complete with seat and controls so I had to carefully remove the interior kit parts and modify the base to accept the new seat and controls. Once the driver was installed in position, it was then a case of dry fitting with the interior. This then gives me an idea of how to paint the assemblies and fit them in a sequence to get everything in. It went together well, and then I dry fitted the upper hull to make sure his head actually lined up with hatch opening, deep sigh, it did! Nemesis attached the following image(s):

That has to be one of the best fitting figures I`ve seen. Looks very realistic and can`t wait to see him painted and fixed in position. Keep up the good work. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Thanks for your comments Derek and Andy. I am really impressed with the figures, very nice detail and well cast. Once all the crew and interior are in it will make you realise how cramped the inside of the Sherman was, it must have been horendous once in a fire fight.
