I did a ton metalcasting in college and have a Materials Science and Engineering degree. I think the lumpy textures come from the original mold for the turret casting being extremely rough. Some of the sand could have fallen out during transport around the shop; maybe when the dummy was removed, it took some sand with it; the sand used for the mold may have been extremely coarse; or some sand was not packed right and cavities popped up on the mold's inner surface. Because a lumpy surface has little effect on a casting's strength and this casting was for a prototype where such errors would not be much of a manufacturing issue, the company was justified in letting these defects slide.

@@SomeGuyButNotThatGuy Possibly, yes. Molten steel is still steel and weighs the same hot as it is cold. With the amount of steel the manufacturer used in the turret, that is a ton of force being exerted on what is a glorified sandcastle. Those little imperfections in the mold can grow into larger imperfections as a result of the pressure that the molten metal exerts on the mold. Further, what we see on the turret may not be the full extent of the imperfections. We know that the manufacturer did a ton of machining on the turret. If the sand mold failed in certain spots, we could see sharp, tree branch-like bits of metal where the mold failure occured as a result of the metal seeping into the sand. However, the factory could have ground off these bits leaving only their bases. I can't 100% say what caused these bumps without the actual turret in front of me and/or documentation from the factory describing how the turret was made.

@@notagoodsitrep coarse sand coming loose when the master was extracted. Plus,I doudt the master was real smooth like they should be. Shifting of the cope and drag wouldn't do that,since that happens once they come together. It's steel casting,wich metals at around 3500° if I reckon,so that would have further disrupted loose sand. Can't expect any better from a prototype. For final production they would have used a core binder to make the molds. They are rock hard once you hit it with co2.

Without seeing the actual defects in the turret, the "bumps" are formed from bad casting molds. Look up cast "swells" and "drops." When the sand mold is weak (not rammed enough or bad sand/oil mix), it will allow the molten metal to push out on the mold, giving you swells. If the sand mold is weak, sand can fall from the mold into the steel, leaving bumps or lumps.

Or,a bad master along with real coarse sand. It's the norm for a prototype pull. The sand,no matter how compacted will pull off once the master is released,plus,not shaking off the molds of loose sand adds a plus, again, common for a prototype. Were it final production,they would have used a co2,or oven baked core binder for the molds.

If they're as regular as mentioned - perhaps they're marks from a manual tamping tool. Such a tool would be a rod handle with a "foot" for tamping. If you did a sloppy job attaching the tamping foot to the handle, or the foot wasn't robust enough and the handle was denting a a lump into it, it'd leave regular marks as you tamped. And you wouldn't care... it's a tank.

Regarding missing duck-bill end connectors: end connectors just fall off, over time, no matter how many times you have your loader check and tighten the end connector bolts. So, when a duck bill falls off, you just replace it with whatever end connectors you have on hand, duck bill or otherwise. The number of missing duck bill end connectors present is directly proportional to how hard and often the TC beats his loader.

Have you ever experimented with "sprue goo"? Its a concoction I recently found out about and have been screwing around with. Its kinda like your putty/glue mixture: you take a bottle of brushable plastic cement [I use plastic magic cut with Games Workshop plastic glue, because Its easier for me to find] and dissolve chunks of old sprue into it until it has the consistency you want [I go for the consistency of oil paint]. Thinner blends function like gap-filling glue, thicker functions like your putty/glue. The benefit of it is the details you make with it can be built up in layers and become part of the model as you are essentially painting fresh plastic. The textures also respond to paint the same as the base model because they are laminated plastic. I'm in the process of building a hood for a chainsaw maniac, using some electrical tape [which also responds to plastic glue] as the skeleton. I'm making it as a separate bit so it hangs loose from the model's body instead of being part of her [Adepta Sororitas Sister Repentia is the model I'm making, this one gets a nun's habit because she's special]

Talking about missing details on Shermans... I noticed one thing I hadn't known before; the removable periscopes in the hatches are ok from the outside, many manufacturers give you the little armoured covers, but if people have the hatches open, this is when the periscopes would have been removed, as they get in the way. I've never noticed anyone recreating the thin steel sleeve that the 'scopes slid into. These are represented on the 'scopes in the kits, they have a slot in the back that a knob on the 'scope slides into, but I've never seen them as separate parts on PE sets or plastic kits. I just made some from thick paper, and once primed they are quite convincing. Thanks for getting me to take more account of tiny details.
