Details:
This kit went together well. Usually I prefer the lower hull to be in a one piece tub, but even though this was not so in this case, the fit was fine. In fact, many of the sub-assemblies went together better than other Sherman kits of my acquaintance. The tracks used were the Friulmodel metal tracks (ATL-131).
The vehicle
“The M4A2 Shermans were equipped with a General Motors 6046 engine (2x GM 6-71 General Motors Diesel engines); they have a welded hull, there were 75mm and 76mm versions only. The users were : USSR, USMC (in the Pacific Theater of Operations), France, Britain, Poland. No US Army combat use.” [1]
The kit
Zvezda 1/35 kit [2].
