I would like to take an early M4A1 Direct Vision Sherman and update it with add-on armor plates over the DV slits and aby other add-on armor for the turret and sides. Is there a source for these in 1/35?

Mostly other kits, like the Tamiya Early M4, many DML Shermans, or Tasca ones. The sprues for Tasca kits can be bought separately from their website if you don't need a whole kit.

The turret plates are curved, but the rest are just flat plates - perfect for making with some Evergreen plastic sheet. Even the turret ones can be made with Evergreen, if you heat & bend it a little.
