Sherman M4-A1

Not quite on the same scale as Tamiya,but a good represtation for the money.... There was a small amount of flash, directions leave out a few parts....and the fit is not as clean as one would see with Tamiya when it come to the tank upper hull and the lower body .....but with a little sanding and slight modification it workable... The plastic tracks are much better than other brands plastic tracks as they go together better then the hot screw driver brand and brush type tracks .. which I do not like...perhaps Italeri will expand into the accessories area in regards to more solid, tracks that simply one can glue without seeing the splice??

For the money, good quality and good build. Came with USMC decals for the diorama I needed.

I had purchased this item awhile back. It was simple and very detailed. I kept my M4-A1 simple in design and added Light Infantry to right the tank. It made a good deal for a spring european diorama. I definitely do recommend this item for beginners, for advanced modellers as well. The Tank I made replicated the 10th Armored Division, adding the Infantry, they were of 3rd Infantry Division. From PVT's to a CPT.
