I was going to build a Italeri 1/35 M4A1 Sherman for the campaign. Well I found out my son had got ahold of the kit , and now I am missing the center drums for the drive sprockets! I figured what the heck! I still have my M7 priest that I can build. So I dug out the Priest only to find that my son had tampered with this one to, and I was missing the same sprocket drums on this kit to. So now I have one more ace up my sleeve, I still have a Tamiya M4 sherman early production! So I get it out and guess what all of the parts are there! Yippy! Now my dilema here is the kit dont come with Ardennes markings. So I ask you, do I use the Italeri M4A1 Ardennes markings or do I use the Tamiya markings for France in 1944 ?
I'm a little at this point!

PLease help!

hi garry, rekon you should get a higher shelf for your stash mate As both the kits are the same production type why not use the markings,they usually supply for a couple of units so it wont be like you have no decals left.im in the same situation myself Im doing a M8 and its supposed to be from the 14th cavalry group but Tamyia supply no ardennes marking,think Ive got a lot of surfing to do.good luck with the build.p.s.Hows the Mrs now days hope she mended ok.

Hi John!
LOL! Nothing is to high for this boy! Thanks for your comments, I think I will go ahead and use the Tamiya decals. My wife still has the catheter in her, hopfully that will come out on the 18th of this month. Its been a long road for her, And I have dish pan hands! Thanks for asking John.
