Nice! An iconic vehicle, the EBR. Alas, I already have the French Dinky versions. Now if you did the version with the AMX-13 turret and the APC version I would be tempted to replace them.

AMX-13 will follow at some point.
Did the APC see service?

Yes, with the Portuguese Army in Angola.

Hopefully the turret will be able to be used on the Rubicon Sherman hull.

Looking good although the barrel looks a little thick or maybe short.  That might be the camera angle.

There were two 75mm versions using the round turret. The earlier one had a shorter barrel and a simple, single baffle, muzzle brake. The later version, also seen on the FL-10 turreted vehicle was longer (it was essentially a French manufactured version of the gun from the Panther tank with a new muzzle brake the most obvious change). I think your gun might need a little lengthening.

lol
The barrel is longer, it's loose ;)  look at the top pic. 
The tapered section is too far into the turret.  It pulls out.
Can't really go any thinner on the barrel, it'll be too fragile.

Yes, I'm not happy with the muzzle brake, I hate making muzzle brakes....  I'll try the other 75mm version.
