Thanks everyone. Had time to build some more today due to a slow a,, shipper. I used this type of glue for the bogies on the other side,as it is slower acting.

Danged if I can figure out how the cursed steps will fit onto where the towing shackles go.

Think the one on the RHS is upside down. I don't remember those other things inside.

Thanks Swordsman.

Yesterday was a down day for me. Truck needed work. Got a fair amount of work done. I will need to go over the gap between the turret halves. Never will understand why the plastic Sherman turrets need to be in two parts.

The torsion bar arms for the engine deck need real careful placement aloong side the tools and stowage rack. I know the super glue frosted the place up. Hopefully acetone will get rid of it.

Weird reaction. Looking good though.
Wouldnt a primer cover it better than maybe having acetone loosen stuff??

If you plan on putting a little stowage on later even just a couple of tarps, that would solve it.

So much for getting this finished in five weeks. Got the primer on earlier today.

I never knew when the turret is facing forward that it would interfere with the hull hatches opening.

I wonder if I could makes millions of dollars if I came with up an easy and fast type of E8 tracks? I had to glue the left and right track pads,and the guide horns onto the tracks. Regular model glue does not work on these.

You should have tried those Kasen tracks. Think that's the name. Looking good Chad
