Once I have the definitive sound set I can send it to you if you want it, but first I need the update.
Dont worry too much, take your time and hope you can add some of the requests I asked!

I'm so sorry that i have had so much crap going on here that I have not made that update available yet or placed the programmers onto the shop.
Cheers

I have worked a bit more in my Sherman. Logs on the sides, real sandbags in the front, some more details here and there, I added a smoke machine, and the most important part, I threw away the tamiya electronics and installed an ASP 2.
I am in my 383.342.548 forum fight of ASP2 VS the world, so I had to do two quick videos showing some of the board features. I will make a better video in the garden soon. Hope it snows next month
The first video is for showing how easy was to change the current to the motors. A colegue thought that it was not possible.
I love the start sound in the first video.
Kevin will notice that I did custom sounds (well, I only need to make my own warm start)

I guess the images I posted are on the large side. Here's a couple more to share with you. I hope you like them. IMG_7594 13 x 8.6 LR.jpg
I'm new to this forum. I'm from the US and I usually post in RC Groups Tank pages. If you like you can see my M4 Build using this link: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2412393
The beginning of my M36B1 build is also on RC Groups.
Cheers!

Almost everyone has the 105mm M4. I decided to do something different. I bought the complete M51 turret and I heavily modified my M4. I'm building it as an "What If" the Allies had the French 105mm long gun mounted in the Sherman during WW-II. I know its not anything close to anything they had in WW-II, but it's OK with me.
I had two damaged 1/24th Tiger 1 tanks that were both airsoft. I stripped them for parts. I modified the gun mount and installed the airsoft gun. I'm using a mini servo for elevation and I had to modify the BB magazine for the gun.
I used the traverse gear and motor from the Tiger 1 and I hand filed the missing teeth in the gear making it into a 360 degree rotating turret and I'm using a slip-ring for the wiring.
I removed all the Philips round head screws from the outside of the lower hull to make it look more realistic. I found 2mm hex bolts on E-bay that fit the suspension retainer blocks and they look just like the real tank.
Here's a photo showing flat head screws I used in place of the round head screws. I filled in the heads with automotive body filler. After painting you would never know they were there. I also added 3DP differential covers that Tamily never made for this tank.IMG_6665 13 x 8.633 LR.jpg
Here's an image showing the 2mm hex head bolts from E-bay.IMG_7329 13 x 8.6 LR.jpg
As you can see in this image, the 1st generation M4 suspension doesn't have screws on the upper suspension part that looks like a shock absorber like the new version as you have.
I still have a lot of wiring to get finished, but I finally have everything I need to get her finished. Here's a couple photos showing the almost completed tank. IMG_7592 13 x 8.6 LR.jpg

It is a great pity that Profiline models was not able to keep going as they had great conversion kits for the Sherman. Asiatam took over and well they haven't done anything
Other great places for stuff
http://www.panzerparts.com
http://www.store-juckenburg.de
http://www.ludwigs-hobby-seite.de (some serious conversion stuff here)
http://www.jagdpanzer.net
http://www.modellbaugasse.de
These stores make their own stuff and are innovators and deserve as much support as possible.
Then we have stores that stock RCTA products so give them your support also
http://www.tanktoko-apeldoorn.nl
http://www.rctank.de

I also wanted to do a firefly conversion, but the barrel is out of stock everywhere, and I didnt have the balls to try to modify the turret. I even bought a tamiya super sherman barrel for doing my own version, but finally I have it for sale if someone is interested.

Does the tanker with the microphone come with the tank or an after market job.
