Just when you thought the housekeeping money was safe, Tasca have announced another two M4 Variants in 1/35th.
Both the new releases are scheduled for release in the coming months. We'll be getting more details shortly. Meanwhile, the two new releases are:

35-011 - British Sherman VC
FIREFLY with Cast Cheek-armour Turret


35-012 - U.S. Medium Tank
M4A1 Sherman (Late Production)


More as we get it....

Personally I think Al's comments are right on the button - although there are a couple of points that that i'd like to add into the mix... No, the changes aren't enormous (minimal?) but I feel it demonstrates that Tasca are pretty serious about the Sherman - we will be be seeing completely new models this year - all of which engenders optimism...

Yip, More good news, I would have prefered a new M4 first or even better an M4A1 early lwith DV hull ol,lol. Agree with Al, still more choice is always good. Al

I hope they do go on and look at the Sherman Models that are yet to be kitted or poorly kitted. The quality of the product is top notch its just that these don't excite me much. I look forward to further releases Al

Al, could it simply be that these are 'interim' releases until they anounce a completely new version? They don't (personally) 'ring my bell' much either, but if it means they generate money they can invest in the REALLY needed variants, i'm all for it.

Yeah, I'd say these are just using up the mileage in the molds. I hope they do follow them up though. Al

I think they would generate a lot of money when releasing a straight M4 Sherman. this can be compared to AFV Clubs M5A1 for which I've got far too many ideas, as opposed to their Stuart V kit. The Firefly is an understandable move, but a Sherman V would be even better imho.

What is the release date for the Firefly w/cheek armor? "in the coming months" is as specific as I've found. Has Tasca said when at this point?
