Hey Aleksandr
You do some terrific photoetch work; so clean and precise!
The turret looks the business, but I have to ask if you are going the rout of adding the thickened cheek armour on the right side of the turret?
In addition to this, the gunners periscope (in the armoured cover in front of the cupola) should be set back inside a little more, not flush with the opening.
What were your plans with the running gear? Were you going to leave the ones you have on, or were you going to change them for the 'upswept' arms for the return rollers?
Look forward to more progress!
Brad

I at all did not know that it is necessary to do a reservation thickening on a tower
Like did not see a photo
Can I am wrong have made running, but did on it a photo
But in any case late to alter, I will break half of model,I very strongly do
Many thanks for participation in my work,especially when far apart and like it turns out that there is no distance :drink

Hi Aleksandr
This photo should clarify the support arm in question on this TRV.
The centre bogey assembly is the same as what you have on your kit at present, whereas the left and right assemblies are of the newer redesigned style where you can see the arm has a definite bend in it's appearance to sit it the roller wheel higher than the previous to increase tension on the track.
I would say that there was damage to the arm or bogey assembly complete on this TRV and the maintenace depot was low on replacements same for same.
But know that all M4A3 with wet stowage (as is yours) were built with the upswept style, and a situation like the above pic could occur but maybe to only one or two of the assemblies?

Brad thanks you for an explanation.Most likely I have made a mistake without having understood correctness.I will try to approach in more details in the future to this question.But as they say, business is already made,to correct I cannot any more, I can break much.
I thank you for the help in my work, without you I would not learn the errors. :peace
