The Tiger looks nice but not really my field of interest
However I was amazed at the Sherman the level of detail for such a small scale kit and good lord look at the PE fret , tie downs in 1/72 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing detail...I love the offerings of the Sherman! The hedgerow cutter is both awesome and quite accurate. Thanks for the report, Jim!

Very nice, one of my favorite versions of the Sherman (the early M4A1 75 being #1). A definite must buy.

Loving the M4A1! This could be my first foray out of scale
Forgive me Jim but I'll get my gripes out of the way first...
~No detail to the underside of the hull hatches?
~Annoying inaccurate pins on the foul weather attachment around the co-ax .30cal? Just like the 1/35 version... (I know, this IS being picky...)
~Hollow idlers AGAIN?
But whoa. That PE looks great! Especially the rear-lights...
And the Cullin device looks a bewdy...
One piece plastic barrel? Lovely jubbly...
The tools which I reckon in the past have had a tendency to ruin the look of a 1/72 tank appear to be of a good scale too...
Good choice of decals too... One can only hope they bring this little lovely out in 1/35... I can wait :-)
Cheers
Brad
P.S. Looking on the PE fret, there is an exhaust deflector. Were these used on early/mid M4A1s?
And wacko the diddio... This is post 1000!
