I went to the hobby shop today for the first time since spring break, cuase i have not really been doing any models since then. When i was there i noticed the shermans, which i needed fr my dio that i will eventually make, they were in a new box. I opened them and yippy, there were infantry inside!!! Only a few of them, but the more the bettera!@!@

What model Sherman? By who?
Tamiya makes a bunch of them...

it was a tamiya late production 75mm

Wait until you get the M-4 Sherman by Tamiya with the 105mm! Great figures...

I just finished the Tamiya M4A3... Wonderful kit.

after i build my panzer 4 h iam going to build a sherman

My next project will be some German armor... Maybe a Tiger.

With the exception of one figure per box, they have the same figures. Shooting soldier in trench coat is replaced by a peering soldier in trench coat. All others are the same. Very nice firgures, some of Tamiya's best.

whole or blown-up(panther bait)

Maybe because Im still in my early modelling career, I only buy the models that have a figure or more with them. Recently Tamiyas kits come with really good figures. Beats paying almost £30 for a tank crew extra. On saturday past I bought 2 mutt jeeps [Academy](one with trailer) for less than £5 each. There are 4 figures in each set. Although the same figures, with some swapping of arms etc. it could be quite exciting. It also includes a mortar waith each set. Brilliant value for money. At the end f the day, after 9 months modelling. its better to get experience with cheap figure like this instaed of ruining expensive resin figures.

My first armor kit was the Tamiya M4A3 Jumbo Sherman. Great kit! :-) :-)

keep building those targets guys

Mark--totally agree. Superb kit. I replaced the short barrel 75mm gun on mine with the longer 76mm. It think it displays very nicely.

Got to love them Shermans, just got back into modeling armor this past winter and I'm on my 3rd Sherman.
