Nice work! THanks for sharing. May I offer 3 corrections?

1) your .30cal coxial MG barrel is not in line with your 75mm cannon. It was coaxial -- meaning it was mated to whatever the cannon was aimed at. You need to line it up

2) turret roof mounted spotlamp. The ribbed cylinder is a shroud -- to focus the light beam. THe actual glass portion of the lamp in inset about 6 inches from the outer rim, in reality. For you, it's about 3mm.

3) It may be too late to change this but Shermans had very tight tracks. I'm pretty sure the DML kit tracks are about a link or two too long -- giving you some looseness near the idler. FOr future reference, you should always make Sherman tracks appear to be very tight -- that's how they were designed.

Hope these help.
