Sounds like a good kit for all the Shermanholics out there.

Rodger-- I ordered one from HobbyLink Japan. I think the History Forum is still not aligned with the moon and the sun. I trust you will contribute to the Survey regarding the return of the Current Event Forum.

Hmmm looks like they are trying to get too many kits from the same molds here ...I will tell you that I just might pick one up to convert it to a late M4 with Tamiyas 105 turret ...The angle on back of the hull looks about right ...just a few passes with an exacto ..a few files..some sanding to cut the back off staight ...an new rear plate and new engine cover ans away we go!! How cool is that !! and I get a new turret for my M4A3 kit too!!

I read it this morning and is enough to convince me I need it too.
More possibilities are on the horizon.
