Hi all!

I'm a new user here and although I don't make physical models, I am in the process of recreating the M4 Sherman Firefly as a 3D model. (Sorry if this topic is in the wrong place)

I'm currently struggling to find good visuals of the front 2 hatches that are used by the driver and gunner. If anyone detailed imagery (accurate model kit images or real life photos) I would be very greatful. I shall post some pictures of where I am up to shortly and hopefully I can get your advice on the overall build.

Thanks
Rich

This is the lastest render with the gunner/driver "pods" on. I don't like the shape of them and I think the model I have been using as a reference is not very accurate in this area.
