The biggest problem is the turret:
-the shape is not acurate, it seems to be too wide
-"pistol port" should be higher and deeper
-missing rainguard around laoders hatch
-elevation angle of the gun is wrong
-the mantlet is probably set too deep into the turret
-cupala and loaders hatch are not acurate
-the gun axle is missing
-smoke mortar is not in the wright place

...Thats about the turret. DML is still making some of them in new kits(new M4A3E8). There are many other problems, also with the other parts.

Maybe someone knows more mistakes?I cannot find good T23 turret plans. Are there any good books with them?

Thanks for help.
