So I started with the Sherman...

must say, totally impressed with the kit itself.
Great packaging, impressive looking assembly booklet, and the detail on the parts is amazing.
No flash anywhere that I can see.

Starting with the lower hull and wheels/suspension.
Everything actually snaps together without glue, but I tried to glue everything to be sure.
I am going to avoid putty since the fit of everything is pretty darned good.
Some seams look natural to the tank, and others are reduced with sanding of the edges for a tighter fit.

Lower hull completed....I will leave the track off for now (for painting).
Wheels are mounted on spindles and do spin freely.
Track actually revolves nicely.

Starting on clean up of the upper hull.
