Tamiya M4A3 Sherman 105MM Howitzer

Delivered perfectly. Not squashed. Nice price.

Another great TAMIYA kit! I really like the kits from TAMIYA...they include a lot of history, great detailed instructions, and nice and clean parts sprues. Having the extra figures help bring the tank back to life!

Good quality kit from Tamiya, though the kit is a bit dated - most of the parts come from the M4 Sherman from the late 1980s when Tamiya and other company(s) started to pay attention to detail/accuracy. Tamiya has many versions of the M4 Sherman and this is the 105mm Howitzer version. If you bought/built any of the other Tamiya Sherman kits, this is identical to those, only difference is that there is a new parts tree for the infantry figures, turret figures, and the main gun barrel. The parts for the original crew members are still included. Also, the older kits would have the "duck-dill" track shoes in them: this kit has the rubber chevron version track shoes. The infantry figures are awesome and are some of the best that Tamiya has ever offered. The tank crew figures are just as great and now they are the standard crew figures in most Tamiya WWII kits being produced. You also get parts trees for extra stowage gear as well. Instruction sheet is easy to follow and gives a brief history of the M4 Sherman tanks in multiple languages. Also, there is recommendation for painting and decal placement. I have been wanting to build the 105mm Howitzer version of the M4 Sherman for quite some time, but I went out and bought the usual after-market parts to kit-bash one. Just got lazy and never did the kit-bashing route, was glad that Tamiya came out with this version so I spent the extra money. Overall, a very good kit of, especially with the infantry figures and turret crew members. If anyone has ever built a Tamiya M4 Sherman tank before, this will be an easy/quick build. Younger persons should not have much, if any, problems building this kit. Remember, this is a plastic model kit and construction is required. Paint/glue not included.

I have the sister kit to this one "Front Line Breakthrough" and it is for the most part a great pair to have in your Sherman tank collection. Most of the parts are identical right down to the stowage boxes and figures which as Tamiya makes many that are a close resemblance to all the other tank crew figures. Good way to save money but they are nicely done and can be mixed around with arms and heads to make several different poses as I do with mine. Overall a great build and keeper of the armor collection to stand up against those German tanks. Additionally one could build Sherman types (not this one) into British Army variants and have some really cool camo schemes as the British painted some very interesting patterns on their armor.

Buena calidadEl problema es que se tiene que usar pegamento....no se ensamblan para tener mayor facilidad de armado.Colores y calcas excelentes.
