Those things on the bustle are for spare barrels of the .50cal. At least that's what they were for the Korean Sherman.
All this hard work is going to pay off, press on Gary!

Not for a while yet. One of the head lights went missing, so I had to make one and then make the guards for them. Next is the guard for the siren on the rt. fender. Then I need to find a replacement for the 50 cal. gun from my spares stash. Gary S.

Ha! I hunted for 45 minutes today for a missing boat. I found it inside a mold cup.Good job, don't get hung up on MIA parts, jst make new.
Yeah but that's like the entire kit. I wasted 10 minutes looking for a 1:35 valve handle and ended up just using a washer for it.

Now on to the model at hand. Finished the light and siren guards and installed the front fender braces. The rear braces are molded on and I'm just going to leave them that way. I have to draw the line sometime as to how much to invest in detailing. Gary S.
notice you got some barrels in there for the coax and bow guns. Looks good Gary.

Made the exhaust heat shields and installed them without too much trouble. Also in the process of making a part that goes on the turret behind the gun mantle out of sprue and the turret hatches are installed with some grab handles on the rest corners. Gary S.
Man Gary, all these extra details you slipping in makes one think you drove tanks.

No, I just look at the pictures. The only tank I've been in was a battle damaged Sheridan. I'll have to find the picture and post it. Thanks, Gary S.

Here's that picture. It's before I decided to grow a mustache, so it's early during my first tour. Gary S. PS Such a kid.
Good one Gary.

Added the tow links front and back and that part to the turret behind the gun mantle. Except for replacing the 50 cal. , I am done with the extra detail. Hopefully I'll get primer on it today. Gary S.

The primer coat was applied yesterday and the model looks a lot better all one color. Also working on the spade grips for the 50 cal.. The origin gun was cut out of it's mount. Gary S.
Smooth!

This afternoon, the yellow and OD were painted. After it cures some, it will get a coat of future and then I'll use acrylics and a fine tipped black sharpie to do the tiger scheme. Gary S.
