Hello Shermanholics!

I'm searching for some PE-Parts for my Shermans.
In fact: One Italeri M4A1 76 and one Dragon Sherman 76 HVSS (No. 9010)

So I'm searching good PE-Parts which I can use (maybe one for both??)
Aber, Eduard, Lion Roar??? Are there any other?
Looking forward to hear something useful tips

Grüße aus Deutschland

I would recommend using Eduard's PE sets. They, to me, offer the right amount of detail options for their respective kits. Abers are nice, just way too much - in my opinion.

For Italeri's M4A1 - Eduards kit # 35339
for DML's M4A3 - Eduards kit # 35061 - I think this kit is OOP though.

Eduard and Aber both make nice set, but I think you almost get too much -- lots of stuff you don't need or will go nuts trying to use.

On the Mark has great Sherman sets, but they are getting hard to find. They were my favorite for lots of years.

Verlinden's old set isn't bad, but I think it is kind of clunky by today's standards.

My current favorite is FineMolds MG-10 set. It initially seems kind of pricy, but each kit containes enough stuff for two Shermans. You get all the essentials: headlight guards, taillight guards, siren guards, sight vane, tiedowns, etc.
