Has anyone built this kit?? How bad is it? Would you recommend it for any reason??????

Very simplified, motorized kit. I've read that it is really closer to 1/32 and I tend to agree since it seems bigger than the 1/35 Shermans I have. I've got a built/motorized one on my desk that I built for my son several years ago. Looks like a Sherman when completed, but won't win any awards for accuracy due to oversized crude parts. My son likes it though.

There may be possible value to a kit collector, but I doubt it.

It's a pretty crude kit by today's standards. It is really closer to 1/32nd, not 1/35. Even back in the 70s and early 80s, about the only things salvageable from the kit were the HVSS suspension components, which were to be transplanted onto other Sherman kits. The rest of the kit went into the trash.

Thanks for the replies guys, reason I was asking was because I picked one up via mail and started wondering what I got myself into. UGH !!!

Well look at it like this It could be used to try out new techniques For example,trying out weld beads,casting marks for the first time Or even new airbrush camo practice

Well...I bought it in a 50%off sale..In fact it was the last kit I´ve done.
Its not accurate,and fit of parts is not that good, but you can enjoy it.
I built it OOTB, as you can see,the .50 is horrible!!

Gosh I never thought I would see that kit built again...Hey congrats on not giving in and changing something.

Hello All,
Sorry, misread the title.

man!


that thing is crude!!, proably though, with a new turret and 50, and new hull, it would make a respectable sherman.

So I guess AIRWARRIOR wants me to just buy a new kit completely than,........sounds like a good idea to me.
