Hi friends, here is my most recent work a Brazilian Army Sherman M4A1, this is a Italeri 1:72 Sherman A4 (the matter of fact, an excelent kit)...
I hope you enjoy it..

Cheers

Nice work - but it looks like the Bandai 1/48th Sherman to me.......

Those markings say "AIM HERE"

No, that's definitely the old Esci (now Italeri) M4A1. Look at the gorilla-armed crewmen.

I don't have any 1/72 Italeri, but what surprises me is they put an engine in the 1/72 scale, and it is very rare to find engines in their 1/35 scales, I have a couple, but even then they don't do much to them, just the general shape, not much detail.

The old Esci M4A1 Sherman (now the Italeri kit) was the only kit in the series to include an engine, transmission, drive shaft and subturret floor (but no turret interior). Even the Esci M4A3 did not include these items. It is still a fairly nice kit.

Neat little kit but has there been any weathering? The tank looks rusted but not dirty.

Looks great Where did you get the markings for it?

Hi friends, thank you very much..
Sabot, you are right..this is a "great" kit...
This tanks came to Brazil in '45 after the final of the WWII, here it was used in maneuvres and to contain civil disturbs (´60)..them this vehicles was in the Army Quarters, suffering almost daily maintenance.
When this vehicles leve to the streets to contain disturbs, it was very clean, because this Quarters is situated in the city not in the camp.
The Brazilian Army Marks is a phoetched stencil produced by a Brazilian Company Dr Design
This marking follows the standard allied marking at the WWII, the only difference is the center, instead of a star we have the constelation of the Cruzeiro do Sul.

The reason that the ESCI (now Italeri) M4A1 had some interior detail is because it was a scale-down of the Bandai 1/48th model. Which had more interior detail - like a breech for the gun, but still lacked things like fuel tanks.

Even the commander figure was the same.
