Hello
I have just ordered the new Asuka/Tasca M4 Sherman, and was wondering if there is a resin sandbag armour set specific to this kit. Perhaps Great Value Gear will produce one.

It's just now coming into wide distribution -- I'd be surprised if a sandbag armor set beat it to the market. However, it's a good bet that someone will offer something. One thing to note in some previous sets for other Shermans -- the pattern makers tend to make the stack of sandbags too high -- blocking the lines of sight for the drivers. If you note wartime pictures (and common sense), you'll see that the sandbags don't rise above to the upper edge of the glacis. Be discerning when that first sandbag set comes out for the Asuka M4 kit. Hope this helps
