    Nearly completed heng long Sherman tank, couple questions please!

    Heng long Sherman tank questions please..

    1. What are the Support brackets on the back of the turret for?

    2. What are these hub looking items on the Sprue trees? It looks like a hub on one side, but some kind of shallow U shaped bracket on the other?

    3. In the instruction manual which I have attached a picture of with the red circles around them, it looks like it is supposed to come with a bunch of some kind of attachment cleats? It came with all the accessories pictured in the manual, but none of these support cleats, wondering if maybe I have a newer version that they have modified? I don’t see any way to attach the accessories to Exterior, such as the helmet, water can, storage bags, etc.

    Any help on these three questions would be greatly appreciated!​

    Those indicate "two sided tape". Their method for holding detail parts on.

        The brackets on the back of the turret are for stowing the .50 cal machine gun. The parts on the sprue tree look like extra covers for the screw holes on the bogie assembly.
