Depicting a later M4A1 75mm (ie. applique armour, travel lock, 1 piece trans.) I have heard that it should have round style air cleaners? Could someone clarify? Have the square in the Dragon kit. If I have to change, do any of the Tamiya or Italeri kits hav the round?
Any help appreciated

As far as I know there is no difference other than the shape. I believe that the round and square cleaners were dependent on which factory built the tanks. Therefore the same make and model tank could have different cleaners
