Is this company ever going to come out of the 1970's?

Probably not, someone's buying enough of these dogs to warrant them cranking them out

Like me. I'll probably get one because if the markings and I always kind of wanted to do a recovery track ever since watching The Tanks are Coming

And it's good enough and looks like the subject and I am recovering from detail oriented obsessive compulsive behavior. It's good enough and a fun build.

Maybe a set of aftermarket tracks would make it a bit better.

It has all new tracks in glueable material as appeared in their "Fury" kit. Much more flexible than the old Italeri track which you used to have to boil and flex each link.

... The Italeri M4A1 is still a fair basis by today expectations... depending on the price you'll pay for it

It will be interesting to check if the new three options offered are matching with a late big hatch hull M4A1 ? New zealand in 44 ??
And Steve, if you want a great/enjoyable build of an M32B1, what don't you go for a Tasca(Asuka) kit ? It really deserve the extra money and it's both a beauty and a joy to built.

Personally I got one merely for the crane & accessories; then I'm planning on mounting them on a better-detailed hull from a newer release, perhaps a Dragon Sherman...

A clever move... Dragon M4A1 76 mm kit (6083) will help you for a later M32B1 version but I rather go for a Tasca/Asuka M4A1 for the earlier version, instead of the "old" Dragon small hatch M4A1 kit (6048).
