1. Rear hull plate angle is too severe. Remove, reduce and replace.
2. Engine hatches do not have interior frames. Looks like all one hatch.
Either cut a groove and lay in one frame per door (difficult) or remove and
install new doors from Tank Workshop's M4A2 Late update set (difficult, but
in a different way).
3. Some people claim the driver/codriver hatches are too small, but I don't
think that's really noticable.
4. If you're modeling a USMC M4A2 at Tarawa, and some at Guam, you have to
remove the applique armor over the ammo bins. The early intermediates in
USMC service did not carry them.
Other than that, the hull's not the travesty everyone makes it out to be.
Kind of like Italeri Panther A -- wrong, but fixable.
