Quoted Text
They're completly overpriced. Tasca's Shermans have very finely detailed and accurate injection moulded parts. and little else going for it. Tech wise they resemble late 90s Dragon kits, with a missing gun breach, halfed barrels but no rifling, 2 part belt track that can't be glued with cement, a mix of clear and opaque parts for lenses, flat pack hulls and simplified all plastic clamps. The Japanese price is fine [euqivalent to £31] considering what you get, but of course with transport cost and those brain dead import fees it can be hard not to add an excessive amnount of "baggage" to RRP on the way.
If you call buildability , flawless assembly and correct intructions little else then so be it. Which DML Shermans have gun breeches? I have to ask have you built one and the corresponding DML kit?
