Thanks!

You have the wrong kit pic up, that's that actual Tamiya Easy 8, not the Tasca kit

Well guys...which is it...Tamiya or reboxed Tasca...?!!

Review is Tasca, above pic is Tamiya

This is Tamiya's reboxing of the Tasca kit.

Yes, but the photo is of Tamiya's own kit, not the reboxed Tasca kit.

That's the Tasca, the Tamiya has the mounts for the HVSS molded into the hull sides.

Ok so is this quick a cut an paste.....Tamiya has less parts.....Tamiya has a rubber band track..... no articulated suspension... and the suggested retail price is wrong. We all make mistakes I am sure this will be corrected.

Over 50 pics in this review, and almost all comments are directed at the first one (and no comments at all about the actual review)..

If the other pics don't make it clear enough, he title text is clear which model it is.

Nice review and build, Daniel.

Nice build up and review Daniel.

Cheers,
Rick

Thanks young sven & clovis899

i liked this kit..going to snag the new Tamiya one also.

The PE grille would make a difference..you should have used it.

I have seen the kits contents, and it doesn't seem to have any PE grills included

Just getting into the hobby and starting a Sherman build next. Lots of great stuff in here that gave me some ideas on how to do my build. Thanks!

Excellent review and build. Fantastic weathering.

One observation: you do not have your track links settled down onto the drive sprockets. That is why you needed to add one additional link per side and why the tracks now have way too much slack in them.
