These seem a lot more to scale than the last set offered here for review: they were easily hundred pounds sacks of sand and therefore kind of hard to lug around or throw up onto the right spot.

Choose carefully--while the sandbags are more suitable in size than the Sol resin set, the particular set shown on the headline page has one sandbag layer too many along the top, again blocking the driver's and bow gunner's periscopes, thus immobilizing the tank. Most of the other Value Gear sandbag sets shown have the sandbags stop below the top edge of the glacis, and are useable, so be sure to take a close look before you buy.

Looking at the M4 sets, seems to me there should be a plank or beam holding the sand bags above the co-driver's MG. Not sure crews took the risk of having sandbags slide onto the MG barrel.
