Thanks to Fury, I have a renewed interest in Shermans. I dug out the Dragon M4 Composite PTO kit last night and saw online that it comes with the wrong lower hull. Since I am sure I am way past being able to request a replacement from Dragon Care, are there any after market options for it? Or any extra unused M4 hulls in any of Dragon's other kits? Thanks

My "go-to" radial-engine M4 lower hull for kitbashes is still Italeri's ancient one from their M4A1 kit - these kits are very cheap at swaps & on ebay. Might need a little fettling to get it to fit, but it should be good to go. (It is in ALL the Italeri Shermans (incl their M4A3, M36B1, etc), so any kit will do!

Thanks- I happen to have an M4A1 from Italeri gathering dust in the basement!
