BBI Sherman Tank Question

Anyone out there taken the gear off this tank...does it come off easily, or is it glued on. Also, anyone taken the tank apart to see if it could have a scratch built interior put in it? Does anyone know if the turret attaches like the 21st one? thanks!

Ok, just got this thing out of the box...what a pain in the arse! You need bolt cutters just to get it loose!!!! I flipped it over and no screws....has anyone gotten to the inside of this thing???

as you know by now it is a huge pain to get all the gear off

. And to mask it is tough because there is so much detail it's hard to get clean lines around everything. I haven't taken the turret off but some might have....

Wow, thanks for the tip. I wonder why they bothered to put plugs over where the screws are. I might want to detail my interior at some point, but I don't think I will be pulling the gear off of this one. I like the job they did on the exterior here,... but I love to scratch build interiors on tanks for some reason. What have you done to yours?

The funny thing is that I have both the 21st Winter Sherman and the bbi Sherman out right now and I like the way the 21st is painted much better than the bbi one......

I only have the original 21st one that was released, and I like BBI's better than that one. At least they are two different Shermans. I think the BBI one will be easier to detail the interior...the turret is open... I had to cut out that area on the 21st one, and it was a major pain....
