Hi guys
I'd like to know your comments about this kit. I found it at a collectors fair for few small change and I'd like to built it out of the box, if possible.
How good is it? How many extra works it needs to correct errors?
Thanks
Gaetano

It's arguably the most accurate Israeli Sherman kit on the market, but was made in a limited run sort of way. The parts are rather rough and there is plenty of clean up required on the tracks and suspension. Overall it is a good kit that could benefit from some generic Sherman photo etched detail parts.

I just picked up one of those as well at the IPMS Nats I will be using the turret to make an early M50 based on the M4A1 large hatch hull
