I was travelling through Pennsylvania this weekend when i found in a local hobby shop a blast from the past!! I found a kit of a M4 Sherman hedgehog tank by Revell, i believe i had this kit when i was a kid back in 1977, but i remember it being made by Monogram. Anyway i wanted to ask if there are any after market update kits for this model? thank you. Rob

Revell merged with Monogram awhile ago and reissues those kits under the Revell logo, so it probably is the old Monogram M-4 with the calliope that you have. Don't know of any specific upgrades for that particular kit, don't think there were any. Al

There were no upgrade sets for that particular kit, but..... it is actually 1/35th scale. So any basic PE set should fit the bill. It's been years since I built that kit but I will build another.

No they are 1/32nd only the Monogram M48 was 1/35. If you placed the Monogram Sherman next to a 1/35 one you can tell the difference. The TC looks 7ft tall next to a 1/35 figure.
They were long out of production when the after market add ons started. I had both M4s as well as the entire armor line.
