US M4 Sherman Medium Tank

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.

It’s one of the better Shermans out there, goes together well. There’s a ton of aftermarket out there for it, so the options are pretty well limitless. Typical Tamiya fit and instructions, so there’s not a lot of correcting, filling, or guesswork to do - a jar of Tamiya Extra Thin and your paints of choice should get the job done. The best Sherman in this price range, I believe. Highly recommend as an easy build and very good representation of an important 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.
