Whilst the running gear was off the hull .. I added fake welds on all the lower hull joints .. Notice in this photo that i have replaced all the steel with alloy ... Dale

Hi Dale,
Your Sherman parts look fantastic! wow brings back memories when I was working on mine!
One thing on the bushings on the wheels. Hopefully you haven't loctited them in yet. Make sure the bushing protrudes a few thousands from the rim of the wheel - instead of inside the hub as is shown in your photos. Otherwise the wheel will move side to side and rub the suspension arm and remove paint (or worse) etc. Having the bushings protrude just a bit keeps the wheel centered in the arm and prevents the wheel from hitting the suspension arm. Hopefully this makes since?
Thats going to one beautifully painted model I can tell already. Great details like the casting numbers!
