Nice looking M4A1!
Kinda funny to see. Although there are so many new Sherman kits available, a lot of entries in this campaign seem to be the older Italeri and Tamiya kits! 
Of course a campaign is a good excuse to build something from your stockpile which could explain the overall use of older kits
Hey,
I agree Martin,personally,I don't think theirs nothing wrong with building these older models,some reasons may be it's the only game in town,for other,myself included,it's the costs,90% my our models come from ebay,and it's the older ones that I can afford,for the most part,but shipping charges need to be watched closely,Ive been able to pick up the older Italeri /Tamiya models,Sherman's,Panzer IV's,251's,etc; 20/25.00,apposed to purchasing one for 45.00+Ive even been able to pick up the older DML's for 15/20.00,a King Tiger (DML's first release) for 22.00(w/shipping) and a cavalier zim set for it,for 11.00,the nearest shop is a hour ride(one way),they want 38.00 plus 19.99 for the zim. I'am not a bolt counter,and even the new releases.come with problems/concerns,I'll make small corrections with the older models,and a few small details, the big picture is that where building them,and enjoying it !!!,My models aren't perfect,never will be,and I have no problem with that,
Thats why these campaign's are so much fun,where sharing are builds,thoughts and problems that we encounter,and work threw it together,and where rewarded with a fun build,and a smart looking RIBBON!!.
ANDRZEJ ,congrats all around ,to you and your wife,wohoo!! to the future model builder
making decent progress with my M32B3(Late),one set of those
d@# indy tracks are in place,other side will be done in a day or two.

Besides that when my gf spots one she just pulls it out without warning me in advance, which can be dangerous when trying to glue something.
