I've got two questions for all you Shermaholics out there.
1. Does anyone have a set of instructions for the M4A3E8 kit #9009? If it's not illegal or unethical, I could really use a copy.
2. What if anything is wrong/incorrect with the hull. It is molded in dark grey (Italeri) vice the light grey I'm used to seeing in DML kits.
Thanks,

Cob, If it is Kit No 9009 you are after I have the instructions. If so, PM me with your snail mail addy and I will send you a copy. I would scan them but I haven't been having much luck with that lately.

Cob,a lot of the early M4A3E8 kits had the Italeri lower hull Whay you have to do is sand off the old style bogie mounts to mount the new E8 bogie mounts DML did start putting some resin lower hulls in that kit so you didn't have to sand off the stuff on the plastic hull
Also,please check the two holes on the gun mantlet When that kit first came out in 94? the holes for the MG and site were put on the lower half of the mantlet DML corrected that later on Hope this info helps
