Base colors on. Now final assembly and then markings and weathering.

This is getting more and more interesting.

Now that a uniform coat of paint is on the build, the slope of the turret mantlet seems to match the slope of the hull as though the vehicle was designed that way...........

With all the IDF builds going on I had to jump on the bandwagon and purchased Tamiya's M-51 Super Sherman.  Amazon has them in stock for $29.61 shipped. Gmorrison the build looks great and I can't wait to see the finished results!

OK this is finished. I'm really happy with the results, pretty well what I had in mind. Any comments or constructive criticism is more than welcome.

Thank you all for the positive comments.

And now a "trivia" question:

what are those two little vertical whiskers mounted to the front plate of the turret?

Well if they're not radio antennas then they used them for the same reason I used to have one on my ATV for - Mounting a pennant so someone can see you before you get over the rise of a sand dune.

Am I close?

Nope.

Hint it has something to do with their position directly forward of the commander an gunner view ports.

They are the front beads on the gun sights.
