Hey

Are there any important upgrades I should buy for my Sherman (today I officially started saving up for it....)

Like ball bearings etc.....

Also does any of you have news on the Armour Elite 76mm turrets? I'd love to have one but no idea when they will be back...

Keep it up!

Martin:

I hate to go against an advertiser here, but go with one of Tiff Williams T23 turrets. they are more properly scaled to the Tamiya hull, where the BYA one is much larger, more like a Jumbo turret than a T23.

BYA is working on revised read deck asemblies (including working hatches) and a PE & Styrene assembly for the exhaust deflector insyead of the former 'lump-o-resin' they had.

Before ya jump on me, I had the kit, and after examining it, sold it as a loss.

Being scale is one thing, but being in scale with the ~rest~ of the kit is more important, especially for something as large as a turret.

So where can I buy the turret by Tiff Williams?

He's a FRAG member with a whole bunch of Shermans right? Can remember he made some VVS suspensions as well (awesome)
