Yeah it’s hard to bet Tamiya’s engineering. Over the years I’ve built 50+ Tamiya kits and absolutely love them. Even the rubber tracks, lol!! Good luck with your M4 build. I just finished Tamiya’s 1/35 Easy Eight kit. Super great kit!! 3

BlrwestSiR Posted Tuesday at 05:35 PM Posted Tuesday at 05:35 PM Nice progress there. I've been looking at Pershing kits and have been leaning towards the Super Pershing. I know Tamiya does one and HobbyBoss has a couple. 1 hour ago, RalphSarc said: I agree. The Easy Eight is my favorite Sherman. It's the Firefly for me. Especially the ones used by the Canadians covered with extra track for armour. Close second would be the Israeli M51 with its 105mm gun. 2

Great kit! 1
