 Subject:  That VLS turretList thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 17, 2006
 From:  Saul Garcia 
Hi Paul,

The VLS turret was flamed not for being a Italeri based item (it was beautifully detailed with new properly done weld beads and casting numbers) but for not having neither a loaders hatch nor an inner trunnion, nor gun barrel. For an item intended to convert an Academy M10 or Achilles into an M4A2, these parts would have to be sourced from another Sherman kit. Without knowing the base kit used, it was VERY difficult to find which loader's hatch to use.

Regards,
Saśl
