Just a point; you did realize the first mantlet you printed, in the first picture you posted, is the RW 105-specific mantlet, right?  <_<  :thumbsup:

The first picture is the actual Kit 105mm Turret, still to be used for the Sherman M4 (105) build that is a RW and in progress.
So the next lot were spares box mantlets on the printed turret. They went back into the spares when the decision was made to dust cover it, so a printed mantlet (easiest to find and print on a FDM printer) was used, then covered in Apoxie Sculpt so not matter what it looked like.

Ah, that makes sense then.  :thumbsup:
