Pinky:
The Historical Faces are correct, but some of the steps in the instructions are mis-labelled.
Step 4a - this is the M10/M10A1/Wolverine mid-production turret. The Achilles Ic was the 17-pdr armed version which used the mid-production turret, and the instructions do not include this version. The Achilles IIc used the late production turret. The Achilles was not built on the M10A1 hull - the M10A1 was reserved exclusively for US use and later rebuilt as the M36.
Step 4b - this is the M10/M10A1/Wolverine late production turret.
Step 4c - this is the M10/M10A1/Wolverine - neither of these turrets is for the Achilles Ic. B13 is the engine deck for the diesel-engined M10 (also used for both the Achilles Ic and IIc). B04 is for the petrol-engined M10A1.
Step 5b - the engine deck should be B13, not B04.
The instructions for the M36 versions are correct. However, the initial production M36s did not have a muzzle brake (they were in short supply).
C16 was actually only a feature of the diesel-engined M10 - the M10A (and M36) had twin exhausts and often an exhaust deflector (as featured on Rubicon's M4A3 kit).
cptjake:
Has anyone figured out a method to allow an M36 turret and an M10 turret to be used on the same hull (so you could switch out turrets and only have to buy one kit/build one hull)?
Pinky:
It should be doable - I'll look at the kit.
