Anyone make a 1/16 M4A1 Sherman kit?

I’ve always liked the early Sherman, but my Google-foo is weak tonight.  I found articles on a 3D printed hull on other chassis, but I’m just wanting an OOB kit I can mull over buying.

The answer is no, not yet, unfortunately.

I guess my Google-foo wasn’t weak.  I was searching for unobtanium.

I exhausted my Google foo doing the same thing a while back. The only way I could find to do it was to buy an expensive later model kit and add a bunch of really expensive resin conversion stuff. I am holding out hope that Andy's HHQ will do one. I have asked him via email a couple of times. Please help me bug him about it.

The only real way is to buy a RC one like Hen long, with out the radio stuff, but it would need a lot of work to mzke it look good. I'm hoping for an Andys HHQ also, but I'm not holding my breath.

If you're looking for a large scale Sherman with VVSS suspension, Dragon do some in 1/6.

Needless to say, they're a bit (a lot?) bigger and a bit (a lot more?) expensive.

Hey Carl 

 I have that kit. It cost me $400.00 dollars back about 10 years ago. It's basically one of there 1/35 scale kits enlarged to 1/6 scale. They even enlarged the thickness of the plastic walls! The detail is like you would imagine if you scaled up all the small pieces to 1/6, they just wouldn't be right.

Thanks Ron! I've never seen the kit contents so that's good to know.

I too have hoped fo a large-scale early model Sherman.....I' m guessing

That Andy's next release will be a Lee and a Grant, which will be cool.

He stated; that he will be announcing an american and a British tanks and

they won't be a sherman. A Lee, American....change the turret, A Grant, British.
