Which Drive Housing is correct for a late M4A2 - is it like the M4A3?

Thanks Bruce, I'll hunt down one of those HB, and I'm guessing the drive housing would work from one of these as well. Steve had given me the turret from the HB.


The pictured 2 Tamiya (M4A1, firefly) do not look quite right for the tank illustrated. I wonder if the HB has the steps on the front of the drive housing too?

later sharp nose transmission cover like the later M4A3s. You know, of course, that somewhere out there is at least one photo of a marge hatch M4A2 or M4A3 with the round nose transmission, but this is more likely to be a result of a repair by substituting a transission from an earlier model. In 1/48, the Tamiya Firefly IC, the Bandai M4A3, and the later Hobby Boss Shermans all have the sharp nose transmissions.

Molds and Masters for the sharp nose (better detailed) is included with the stuff you're getting Bruce, both a hollow cast one and solid cast!
