El Alamein Sherman III DV with full interior |

I had been planning a Sherman III for quite a while, and buying bits and pieces over time for the build. Most of my inspiration came from a photo on British Pathe of a tank named Bacchus, with an unusually placed and unusually large name on the rear plate.
When I saw James Wechsler do his excellent Sherman III over the past few weeks, I was pushed over the edge to do my own. Thankfully, Chesapeake Models Designs made an appearance at the recent AMPS East with the hull I was looking for.
I have a feeling this will be a long and arduous process, just from the sheer count of resin sets I need to coordinate, but I really can't wait to get into it.

| Chapter 14 - Turret Interior finished | Dec 4, 2005 |
I found some of the 'lost' images of the turret interior just prior to sealing it all up. Since the lighting will be so poor when looking through the hatches, I ended up roughing things up a bit more than normal to give the extra contrast for visibility. As far as detail is concerned, the turret basket is fair quality, but the upper turret interior is the worst part of the entire TWS interior.
You can also see here the headsets and microphones for the turret crew. I couldn't find any references that showed the locations for British style junction boxes, so I ended up guessing the locations.
