Well, you won't be needing the gun travel lock or the bow .30cal, so I can see them disappearing soon.
You using the M4's running gear or the M113's? ???

Very interested to see where this one goes.

My plan is going for a low profile APC based on the Sherman tank.
I had initially planned to fit a M-113 ramp for ingress / egress.
Initial concern was that the Sherman height wasn't adequate for an APC
However still going for an APC because of :
1 - Low profile APCs abounds in real world - IDF conversions of the T-54/55 and Centurion tank hulls
2 - External VVSS allows adequate interior space for troops (albeit severely cramped!)
Thanks for making BtS so great :)

Going with the Sherman VVSS running gear - allows more interior space for troops

I'm really looking forward to this one. I have something similar planned but was going to use a Legend Productions IDF Sherman Ambulance Conversion set as the basis:

Am planning to add a small turret in the front using the cupola from a M3 Lee tank:

Plan is for it to be a WWII APC.
