US M4 Sherman Medium Tank

This kit was a gas. The only thing was watch the directions, you can build I guess two types of Shermans. But the directions didn't seem totally clear or maybe it was just me. I buildt the early version, which was may intent. Overall just a great build tracks fit with no problem. The detail was right on, plenty of gear for a real look. This is the best Sherman kit I have built out of the six I've done.

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.

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.
