Academy M4A2 Sherman US Marines Problem

Hey folks,

While doing up this kit, i seem to have run into a bit of a fitting problem for the rear wading trunk. According to the box art, the allowance between the trunk and the hull is rather minimal but when i try to dry fit mine onto the hull, the allowance seemed rather large.

Has anyone encountered this problem while making this kit or am i just seeing things?

TankJunky, thanks so much for this first URL! This image basically confirms that there is meant to be quite a bit of an allowance between the hull and the rear wading trunk.

Many thanks!
