Can anyone tell me if this kit is a repop of the Italeri kit or is this a totally new one??? And if it is new, how could is it???
Last I heard Heller = Italeri
Thanks, I figured as much, but I wasn’t entirely sure. That means this is not a bad kit… [;)]
Not at all … I believe it is the Italeri kit that they had labelled a few years ago as a Jumbo (which it wasn’t) but can be built into a pretty good M4A3 76
Yes, I built one (it was in a correctly labeled box though), it was one of my first armor models. I still have a couple on the shelf (M4A1, M4A3 with Calliope, M4A2). And a few other Shermans too: M50, M51, Firefly, 105mm… [:)]
Hhhmmm … seems we have another Sherman Freak here. Watch out for that M4A2 … it comes up a little short in the A2 department.
Yes, but the name Shermanfreak was taken [;)]
I read about the Italeri M4A2 not really being an A2. I don’t know yet what I am going to do with it: make an A2 out of it with some work or just build it as an A3. If I am going to do the USMC option, I will have to convert it to A2. [V]
Marines used the M4A3 too though so depending on what vehicle you’re trying to depict you should be ok.
Best news I have heard all week! [;)]
My references are not up to speed yet. I am still building my library. So I did not know that.
Nice website by the way. Great models! I wish I could build that well…
