I've read the reviews, so I know that the 1/35 Italieri US Marines M4 Sherman is actually an M4A3. I would like to ask how good and accurate an M4A3 is it, if I build it straight?
I model mostly ETO subjects, and need (want?) another Sherman. Since Squadron and Military Hobbies both have the kit on special right now, it would appear to be a good deal, if it is a good kit. Plus I would get the wading trunks and wooden armor for my spares box for later.
Cheers

Dave, it's a decent kit, though it is an M4A3 with extra parts thrown in.

Go Here for a review,

Haven't read a bad word about the kit - as an M4A3 - except for the trax.
