Hi John, no jig I measured each one and centre popped by hand. 
Hi Phil
I meant the infill piece used to correct the rear hull plate angle.

I've been working on the motor dimensions but that's another story and a few other bits see below. The measurements are shown in 1/35 and 1/6 but some poetic license can be used, it's down to the individual to make it look right, please be aware that a small section of the kit rear belly plate angle remains using this method.

No disclaimers allowed and it's artistic licence 
Otherwise it would be
"There was a Model tank builder called Phil who always loved the filling the bill...."
"But late in the night, he was given a fright when his fingers got caught in the mill.....er.

Don't you just love predictive text lol! I have checked it and it says " working" not "wanking" with no edits logged in the original post, God knows where that post came from 
I'm going to leave it as it's funny!
Thank you John! Are you going to perform the belly plate mod?

Back to reality, yesterdays work. There's still more detail to be added to the lower hull, the side hatch is interesting. Please note, turning pieces obviously requires a machine tool and a little knowledge, you can also make such parts using large washers, hardware stores have all kinds of goodies.

Looking good Plil, I'll be trying to do the best I can with what I have. Which is not a lot.
I think you've proved there's a lot you can add to the model and you've not really got the wheels on yet. Hoping mine goes together as well as yours.
By the way I was trying to rhyme with Sherman Tank but you beat me to it
