Sherman Tank Parts

The Heiser Sherman EZ8 tank model with all the major parts laid out on a tray.
I don't use some of the little tiny bits, headlights and supports for the fenders.
For wargames models they are too fragile so I don't put them on the kits.
The main gun glued to the turret.  I stick the turret rear into a bit of modelling clay to hold the turret in position while the glue dried on the gun.
Here is a closeup of the turret and gun and clay.
The suspension bits include 12 road wheels, and 6 shock absorbers.
The outer road wheels get glued onto the inner road wheels.
The little wings are spare track links that go on top of the fenders.
Rear hull and engine vent with a plastic trailer hitch.  There is only hole that has to be drilled into the rear for the trailer hitch.
Plastic bow machine gun.
