Nice so far.
So better if done right.
Strange no clear Cupola included in this day and age.

Considering the vision ports appear opaque for all intents and purposes; why? On the clear cupolas I have to paint the opposite side black because the glass on the real thing is so thick. It's a silly gimmick that doesn't represent the real thing at all.

By that time frame,All 76mm turrets should have the portable spotlight,near where the 50 cal barrel clamp is attached. Consulting "Son Of Sherman", yes, pg 294

Indeed! There is a nub in the right place, but there should be a second socket next to it, and of course we don't get the actual light to go in it.
