In the tasca manual is stated that you should drill a hole in the left hand side of the turret.

Does anyone has a picture of how this hole looks like? And for what its for?

Thanks alot!

I don't have the Tasca Sherman V kit but perhaps they mean the smoke launcher tube. Look at how it appears on their Firefly turret's upper left front edge

For the M4A4 kit, they used the turret from their earlier M4A1 kits which didn't have the hole. Rather than make a new mold, they ask you to drill the hole yourself, I suppose.
