I was referring to the crew in the M3A1 or the M4A1 prototypes or earlies not the Nicaraguan Contras.

Re: M26 Pershing Production Images
Prototype M26 Pershing turrets arrived on Friday - very happy how these have turned out. I placed a flip board marker next to the turret to show the scale.
The interior of the turret has been cast hollow so it "only" weights 11kg - within 150 grams of the predicted weight from our 3d modelling software.
We will get these onto our CNC machines in the next few days to machine all the features needed.

Very pleased with how these have turned out.

Re: M26 Pershing Production Images
A very detailed wheel indeed.
Unlike German design , no locking tabs used to prevent the nuts from being loosen.
Is German too dedicated , or American don't think it is necessary? What is the true reason behind using it or not?
Regards,
Lerh Chang

Re: M26 Pershing Production Images
Was the flange nut used? or dome washer? inner lock washer? conical washer?
Maybe nothing but a nut.

Looks like the flange is part of the bolt.

Re: M26 Pershing Production Images
The exhaust looks like a tricky piece of machining. It's not easy to tell from the angle but does are the vents cylindrical or conical ?

Re: M26 Pershing Production Images
Wow, this tank is looking great! Even though I’ve missed out on German armor in the past,(King Tiger) for my first Armortek tank, I’m thrilled about buying a M26 Pershing.
