Good to have you along chaps
The standard reference and aftermarket photo....
So, on with the build....
A while back I had pinched the lower hull for another project and had forgotten this until I opened the box

So, first step was to search through my Sherman spares box to find some lower hull parts....
Thankfully, I had a partially put together hull which I could use with a little modification....
The lower sponson panels were for an M4A2 hull so I had to alter those first up - note how the left one has been done already to suite the rounded cast hull. The lower hull sides were for an early rivited hull so all of those needed to be shaved off to represent a later welded hull.
