Sherman out of litterbox
During Lockdown there is time to clean your cellar. In a box were parts for Sherman tanks. Six armoured hulls from different producers: Tamiya, Fujimi, Italeri and MD lay there. Luckily enough bogie wheel suspensions were there too. But there was one problem. I only had two turrets and an old Verlinden Resin part.
As I like tank interiors there was no way but casting a moulding from the Verlinden part. By carefully filling it with resin I got a hollow turret. The same thing happened with the gun shields.

The A6 was the best engined M4. Using a radial Diesel in a M4-A4 composite hull. Only 75 tanks were built which never saw service being used for training at Fort Knox.
