| This is one of the most
        original detail sets I've seen in a long time. Many
        Shermans operated by the British or Commonwealth armies
        (and subsequently Poland as well) had externally mounted
        smoke dischargers on the turret sides. Typically, these
        were mounted on tanks that did not have the internal
        2" smoke mortar installed, but I've seen some photos
        of vehicles that had both. I'm not sure if any of the
        plastic Sherman kits have ever included these mounts?
        This set includes two double mounts, so enough for a
        single tank (one double mount on each side of the
        turret). The barrels are short segments of brass tube,
        and the trigger/receiver assemblies are 3D-printed in
        resin. Some of the trigger guards are either broken or
        not completely printed, but really, who's complaining?
        These are amazingly small and fine parts, and are going
        to look superb mounted on a kit. I love this set.
