I have started with a project f converting M4A3 76mm Italeri into M4A2 76mm with parts from DML, whereas DML's M4A2 is being converted into M4A3 75mm from Iwo Jima (which will be the subject of another post).
I concentrated on improving Italeri by adding a texture of the armor and various bits and pieces from DML kt.
Selecting the particular vehicle to portray was hard, as Italeri gives us a turret with split hatch, and very few documented tanks were the option. I have selected theone with IS2 on the streets of Berlin.
As hatches were open, something from the inside is to be seen,so i acquired RFM Sherman with inerior instructions and started to scratchbuilt what can be seen from the ope hatches.
