Sherman M4A3E2 Engine Sound Modification

Improved my 1/35 Scale Tamiya M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo with a 20 second
sound record from a original Sherman Radial Engine. At moment the Sound is
activated with a Light sensor and in future it should work with a reed contact
and a movable part (stowage part). The next parts coming soon.

Not sure but try to replace the original Tamiya tracks with a T-48 Bronco set, a lot of small pieces going together, at least it will take some time.

M4A3E2 Jumbo Part 2 Modifications

Modifictions are done at all handles on hatches, at turrets back the Cal. 50 brackets are done with brass. The lock for the loaders hatch was scratched build.
The Transmission noise was covered with extra putty, a stiff brush was used to simulate the cast effect.

Missing:
Cast effect at turret sides.
Welding seam at front armor
T-48 tracks
brass brackets for wood  at front
