I have been told by several sources that we are finally expecting a Sherman tank model with a full interior (and it's about time!!). I've heard Takom or Ryefield as the producer. Does anyone have more details on this, such as photos or even which model Sherman they've chosen to expose?

RFM has been showing a M4A3E8 for future release but nothing indicates an interior-- so far.

And a CAD I saw of the spruces for their Sheridan showed interior bits.

The future is always in motion.

So be ready for anything but wait for reliable confirmation. People often only hear what they want to and will conflate things that actually do not go together.

And like so many things it may never appear. How long ago did AFV-CLUB show that M48 turret and now they've finally announced an M48? And just where did that M8 GMC and M41 spg go?

I can say with near certainty that we should "expect" some more M3 light tank kits by 2029. See? I'm a freaking oracle!!

Hi, Kurt!

Unfortunately, you are more than likely right about that 2029 date...

Not a SINGLE glimmering of light from MINIART regarding their US and BRITISH M3 Lee/Grant kits, either...

I'm not going to hold my breath for ANY 1/35 US M4-series Medium kit with an interior...
