hello I am planning a diorama set in Normandy. I have an Asuka/Tasca m4a1 early. What would I need to turn it into a late version. Tasca does sell individual sherman sprues, would some of these enable me to make an m4a1 suitable for Normandy. Basically I want to build a Sherman without the issue of thinning the headlight guards or using PE. a solution would be to install a set of sandbags like those from Great value Gear, who do a set for the m4a1. I also have Asuka m4 late (Fay), but as yet no sandbag set specific to this kit has been produced.
Many thanks for any advice.

This review of the M4A1 late has pics of the sprues. They might help

This sandbag set will fit exactly on the Tasca/Asuka M4A1 Shermans (early and late):
