Hiya all,
I started yesterday on Itaeris M32 ARV kindly donated to me by Steve (WWH).
So far I have done basic upper hull construction and running gear.
Cast texture has been done with auto filler.
All comments welcome

I have this kit for the Mud Tread and Gear Campaign. I am debating whether to be more accurate and mount the recovery gear to my Dragon M4A1 or just do it OOTB.

I really couldn't be bothered getting another kit so I am just gonna cover up the hatches with sandbags.

If I swapped hulls I would get a better M32 but stuck with all sorts of problems with the ever-so-rare M4A1 75mm large hatch. If I'm going bto be stuck with one messed up Sherman I might as well just do OOTB M32

Alan,I think Zod may have posted a picture a few months ago of a large hatch M-32(though I am not sure of which hull) so large hatched ones existed.

I thought that was determined to be some post war or experimental version that never went into production. I will check his gallery
