US M4 Sherman Medium Tank

Tamiya's attention too the fine details has produced a great kit that builds into an excellent representation of this well recognized tank. The additional crew figures, external crates packs, and fuel cans etc. are a nice touch that really enhances the finished result. Though the detail on the exterior is impresive their is no interior, but using the crew members to fill open hatches more than makes up for that. It is an enjoyable build and the result is as rewarding as it is realistic.

I really enjoyed building this model. Excellent detail for the simplicity of putting it together. Loved the armor on the sides. Much easier to install than photo etch screens that some model manufacturers use. I also very much like the attention to detail that Tamiya did with the 50 cal. on the top. Kit also includes plenty of accessories to load the vehicle up with if you are so inclined. Excellent kit for the money.

As it's no surprise, this is yet another great kit by tamiya. Construction was easy, instructions were detailed, and the end result was very nice. This kit offers some flexibility to the builder, offering two different sets of road wheels and either the early 3 piece transmission cover or the later solid one. The accessories are also very nice and give you a lot of options to make this tank your own. The detail of the pieces was quit nice, minimal seams or left over flash. The instructions were easy to follow, and never left me any area for question. Decals were a breeze with two included sets. The same with the painting instructions, which are the standard olive drab or olive and khaki as seen in the U.S campaign in Italy. I really enjoyed the building of this kit and I'm happy with the final product.
