Yeah I would like a verlinden but since they're out of business they're hard to find. I forgot about tank work so I will check them out thank you

Ive used the Tank Workshop M4A3 interior. Its not bad but if you can get the Academy M12 as well, its driver compartment is better.

Cool. Thanks for the idea. I only need the drivers and turret. Building an E8 with open hatches. Dont want to pay for a whole interior when its just a waste

I like the idea of using the Academy drivers for the interior, that's one area I didn't do as well as I would have liked. I did the masters for Tank Workshop back in the early '90's, and there wasn't 1/100th the reference available that there is now.
The Tank Workshop interior is for the 75mm tanks, however most of the interior is the same. The late hull tanks had a reduced turret basket so the sponson stowage can be seen through the hatches. Look at the Tank Workshop website and there is a cut-away of the interior that shows what's in there.

Ive been looking at tank workshop, and everything I can find. Not too concerned using the turret interior from a 75mm, unless I say anything no one wbo sees it will never know the difference. Im just using whatever I can find.

Randy,
Did you go to nats in phoenix this year. If you did, my M4A3 with interior was there. It had sandbags on the front and no figures.

Jeff, I missed the show due to work and time issues. Can you put up a few pictures in your gallery?
