This is an amazing project. Looking inside your model hull is like looking at a real tank interior.

I very much appreciate the historic photos of the actual tank, and you clear closeups of all the parts.

Many thanks for being so thorough.

Thanks for good feedback Don. Got the ider from Mike Marsh's iowa ship biuld for using historic pics, you need good close ups to see the parts clearly the draw back is the mistacks stand out as well.

Another update finish the last two cylinder water manifolds part number 96

Pic of a multibank engine that shows the manifolds

then onto the intake and exhaust manifolds for four of the cylinders heads starting off with parts 97 the centre section and the connection to the carburettor pipe.

Part 98 exhaust manifold with flange for exhaust pipe fitting.

Thought I'd add some additional detail and added some hex heads to the exhaust flange and also the flanges on the cylinder ends for the water pipes to the water pump.

Parts 99 the other side exhaust manifold.

The completed exhaust manifold the next stage will be to add to inlet manifold.

that's all for now

The engine details is just awesome. Thanks for sharing,this is why I never build any Sherman

Once again, really beautiful work.

Thanks also for providing the image of the actual engine that you are modeling.

Hi David,
nice work!!!!

thanks Don and Enrico
little bit more progress part number hundred the inlet manifolds there is an option to make these in paper or wire I went with the paper option as I haven't done this bent paper tube before and will have to do it for the exhausts later so a bit of practice.

I made one of the tools looks like a track removal tool.

A bit more of the engine continued with parts 101 to 104 that make up the fifth manifold this one is slightly different to others I did have to trim parts 102 inlet manifolds as they were slightly long.

Some pictures of the cylinder heads dry fitted to the central block.

So onto the cam gearing houses parts 105 there are 3 of these.
