I have the Dragon Op Cobra Sherman. Can I just replace the suspension/fenders with the correct set or does it need more modifications?

Tasca/Asuka offers a corrected suspension and track set. I'm slowly gathering parts for my build. IM me if you need to source any other parts and I'll check my supplier's list.

Are you using a metal barrel? Most factory 'E8's had the muzzle brake and the oval loaders hatch. Some had no muzzle brake, but would have the thread collar, and the split loaders hatch.

Are you building a WWII, or a post war?
