very nice is the shell plastic if so did you use a soildering iorn cause if it dosent touch the plastic bit makes it warm and flimsy then you get the shape say a plastic car was simulating a hit to a wall you get a squere or lampost get a pen/pencil thats round and bingo you could also get a scale tiger shell ian press that nose first in to simulate a hit
does itt have a turningf turret?

No Krafty I purchased it as is I think whoever did it simulated something being whatever?
the Turret turns, has engine sound and shoots bb's etc.

the early shermans had cast bodies like the one shown then
It was to labour intensive so they redesigned them with the slab sides
For welding them together quickly
