Still looks like the kit that Italeri offered in late 1990s or so. They could not offer a separate rear deck for the M4A3 - still have to cut out the deck if want the Marine Corps version. Also, seriously doubt those Italeri track shoes are glueable - have built a bunch of their armor kits and most of the time the track shoes are way too stiff; do not hold glue/paint; must use staples; and are usually just a tad too short so that the running gear actually breaks off after endless hours of trying to wrestle everything into place. No - will stick with Tamiya kits. Good video though!!
I'd buy that just to get the deep wading trunks.
Looks vintage enough to have one of those sheperd paine diorama foldouts.
That's a good one - ha ha.
Those were the best though!
Great interaction with Tim at the start😃👍.Thanks for the review.I’ve not done any armor for years(got back into the hobby again since 2017).A marine Sherman is very tempting🤔
This kit can be built into a very nice M4A3 in ETO service with the addition of some after market tracks from Asuka
Great Sherman Review ❤️🚛❤️
Italeri must not have gotten the memo that they are not AFV club, when they set the price for this mostly ancient kit. 💰 💰 💰
Outside of " gluable" tracjs and decals....it is still an old kit.
Tell the manufactures to put out some 1/24 or 1/25.
Bought it, built it. And I have some thoughts:
- the plastic does not glue well with Tamiya extra thin, takes absolutely ages to stick anything together (not even talking about the tracks)
- the tracks WILL NOT glue unless you get soem superglue made of unobtainium, vibranium or whatever other unicorn product you can think of, just god awful
- decals are great, they work perfectly fine (1 really good think about this kit)
- the finished result looks cartoonish and not sharp enough
- the turret does not rotate freely like on any Tamiya M4 kit
Overall, lots of pain if you are beginning or coming back to the hobby. I'd rather get a Tamiya M4 and get some after market bits to make it into an M4A2 with wading stacks and the side wood panels.
Doesn't look very detailed to me. Missing a lot of cast texture as it seems.
Some nice new bits (especially decal options) but still old tool kit. All depends on what msrp is?
Says $52.99 at the beginning; seems pretty steep for an older kit
@@mh53j Yeah, not going to happen, new parts/decals or not!
This kit is from 1977 wonder if it is bad fit on it.
Dunno. I'm not seeing any new parts there other than the decals. What's new?
The wading gear, and wood plank "armor"
No. I think the wood and wading trunks were also included in the old M4 kit with the “Nightmare LA bound via Kitano Point” markings.
Doesn't look very impressive?
53$ for rubberband tracks and poor mouldings, want a sherman buy from any other company and get a much better kit.
