Thanks, the road wheels definitely need some work, trying to paint them on the model, is a little more difficult than I realized when I started assembly, I probably should have done at least the initial coat before I attached them.

Good catch. I've been working off various M4 photos, and I haven't really been too exacting in that regard. I was basing that off some M4A1 photos I had. But you are correct, the M4A3 should have a steel idler wheel. I'll switch it up with some steel and some chipped olive drab over it. Thanks for the pointer.

So far, I've got the basic structure of the tank done and painted. Next steps are decals, weathering, and adding stowage.
