Sherman M4 engine compartment / interior

Robert, this one’s for u, i guess.of course, anyone is free to reply…
i got a copy of the 1/72 italeri Sherman M4 kit and it actually has an engine, driveshaft and gearbox. what color should these be painted (i’d love to see photos of the real thing) ? also, any photos or info on driver/fighting areas…
thx in advance,

P.S. i bought this kit largely due to reading ur posts (ur such a sherman fan, u made me want to build one for myself) and was amazed at what was included. sometimes it’s fun to take a little side trip ( i mainly like modern armor ); this little kit could really be detailed well if i only knew what i was doing !

Frosty … if you send me an e-mail with your e-mail adress on it, I’ll zip you some pics of of the interior areas. Or if you have MSN Messenger, I can send them through there too.

I’m very glad I inspired you a bit to build a Shermie.
