Hi Dave
Thanks for comments and yes AFV M36 turret is not that bad in terms of dimension but if you look at counterwieght and compare with actual, you will notice that it is set too much inwards (aka inside the turret) this can be spotted as end of ammo bins will be too far inside turret. I was very tempted not to modify it for the sake of time saving but at the end the "rivet counter in me" won...
I remedied by cutting the counterwieght (very easy thanks to the -too much- soft plastic) and spacing by 2,5mm pieces of plasticard.
I am waiting for that glue is setting and will post a photo with the "raw" surgery so that you may see how is done..
Thanks!
ciao
