This kit is designed to detail the lower half of any M4A3 kit. It is the first accurate lower hull that we are aware of in 1/35th scale. The parts were scaled from numerous original ordnance drawings. These parts are a perfect complement to the Tamiya M4A3 kits and will replace the inaccurate parts in Dragon and Italeri M4A3 kits that have radial engine details.
