Hey All,
I am looking for some exterior detail pics of the Grizzlies 1M Turret's original M28 C sight, in order to backdate it to a vehicle from 1986. A bonus would be the latch detail on the turret hatch as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cam,

Good luck with your Grizzly project. You did a great job on your Shermans so the Grizzly should turn out well too.

I did a review of the Trumpeter Early Grizzly kit several years back. It might aid you in deciding which corrections/modifications that you might want to tackle.

If you are backdating the turret to the M28C sight there are other mods that need to be done to the turret...ie the front vision block placement on the turret.

Hello Cam
Jason reached out to me about your project. The Trumpeter kit does require work. It depends on your desire the destination you want. I can send some pics your way to get you started. I will have to dig up my references though. Speak to you soon.

Thanks Ying! That would be awesome. I understand it requires alot of work to make it accurate. I guess my goal is to make it accurate without going too crazy. Whatever help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
