Interesting project. Looking forward to it.
Most M4A2 can be built into early IDF Shermans. They had almost every type/variant.

@gtdeath13 That is a serious gap there. Fixed it nicely though.
@iguanac Wow! Some major reconstruction going on! I have Zvezda’s too and wanted to use it as a basis for an M32B2, but found out it is the wrong kind of M4A2. I would need a hull with small portruding hatches.

I think you will have the same issue with the gap between the suspension cover and the front glacis as I did.

I am down to the last hull details
I need to build the canister rack at the rear and check to see if I can source the exhaust deflector.
Does anyone know if the exhaust deflector for M4A2 is included in any other kit?
I will look into this detail in the following days and will share whatever info I find. In any case I can repaint the elephant yellow.

Good to know!! I’ll examine this area carefully and fix as you have if necessary.

Not that I am aware of. Resicast, Tank Workshop, Panzer art and Lanmo make wading gear for the A2.

Since I have a good number of Shermans in my stash, I’ll join in!

The early un-armoured “scoop” deflector is in a number of Academy and Tasca/Asuka kits IIRC. But I don’t know anyone selling the later armoured two-piece deflector. Then again, your tank is early enough that it would have had the scoop type.

I need the scoop type, so I will look into Academy and Tasca sprues and as suggested maybe source one from ebay or get an aftermarket one.

Am I correct in thinking that this is not the deflector I need?
It looks different, much lower in the photos
I found something that looks the part in the M36 kit from Academy

That’s exactly the deflector you need!
