right just before i start the base coat on my sherman,i need some help off you sherman experts.
theres 2 impressions on the rear of the turret and am wondering weather they should be sanded down,they look kind of odd or should they be there?





i noticed them when i was checking to see if i have put all the parts on before i start to paint.
please please help,as i have just mixed the paint and the airbrush is ready to go

Turn off the airbrush regulator and pull out the sanding sticks, Karl. Sorry to tell you that.

You can look here at the many interesting features of the cast T23 Sherman turret. However, those marks are leftovers from the plastic injection method that DML used.
