Great photos Dave . This is the first time I have had a close up look at the bolts that hold all the hull plates together !!!With the other armortek models we have to fill all the counter sunk bolt holes with filler . I hope that armortek can source scale round head counter sunk slot head bolts from some where . As this is a real feature of the half tracks. Dale

The same screws were used on the Sherman to bolt the inner mantlet to the turret and the outer mantlet to the inner mantlet.
I used some of them on my Sherman and I have plenty left for the Half Track!
Found them at www.marylandmetrics.com - they refer to them there as oval headed slotted screws.

That's good news that these are avaliable . Lets hope that armortek supplies these as part of the kit . Otherwise there will be lots of filling and re drilling . Dale

Don't forget the nuts! The closest you will find to the originals are lock nuts. Give them a coat of paint and they will look A-OK.
