Hi guys,

I just finished my first tank. HEHE. It's the Tamiya M4 Sherman. It's my first so be mild but still give suggestions. I need them.

really nice looking sherman, nicely done weathering. it isnt a m4a1 though, looks like a m4a3. the m4a1 has the cast hull. all in all though i give it

Nice work for a first tank. It's an M4 by the way.

Sorry guys. Yeah you are right. It's just a M4A Sherman. Atleast that's what it says on the box.

I left some comments at FSM.

Nice dirty tank. I love it. The first pictures don't show any tank tracks in the soft dirt/grass/mud. But the later pictures seem to show the tank moving through a hedgerow. Fantastic.

Hi Daniel,

Congrats on you first Sherman build. Nice sttting and a good start.

Are you sure that's an M4A3? I am building Tamiya's M4A3 105mm kit and it doesn't have some of the littke things this one has. For example, the side armor, armor plates in front of the driver's hatches, the MG is in a different place, and the rear looks very different.





Any explanations would be great!

Thanks!

As said preveiously, it's not an M4A3. It's an M4.

Yours is the M4A3 by tamiya, nice kit, but with a lot of flaws that shermanaholics will tell you about.
On the other hand Daniel has opted for the M4 Sherman Early by Tamiya, I've yet to build that kit.

Sorry. I forgot there was an early version.
