Agreeing with Kevin. It's amazing how you got all those "petals" to meld together. Lovely work!

Attack of Shermans on the forum

Added some details to the turret as suggested in instructions, before i start assembling radio station

Ventilation cup, commanders hatch base ring, some plugs and pistol port frame

Parts аре ready and attached to their places

Fun fact: the turret was made of cast, homogeneous steel, and was 76 mm sick at the front, 51 mm on the sides and rear, and 25 mm on top.
(You could clearly how designer saved this proportions in 1:25 scale, when i assembled power structure that separates between inner and outer shell)

Thanks Kevin

Assembled radio set. This one is called British Wireless Set Number 19 or WS19.
They've been installed in commonwealth and lend lease Shermans and were different from US versions.

First off all boxes.
I adapted a method with square boxes - draw along fold line very lightly with knife. It gives good 90 angle fold and white edges painted later.

Because of tiny parts i decided to cut/paint/glue each part separately.
Radio set is ready.

And the real thing
