Question on Airfix 1/76 Sherman "MkI"
Posted by Zero Enna on Monday, July 9, 2012 8:38 PM

I'm about to finish my 1/76 M24 and I was thinking about purchasing the Airfix 1/76 Sherman, I want to start a little 1/72-1/76 collection. In fact, I would be my second Airfix sherman, I built one like 20 years ago, lost a long time ago during moving. I don't remember how good was it, so if anyone have it, maybe you can tell me something about it. First of all, I'd like to know which version it represents, It says "M4 Mk.I" on the box, but I thought that the Mk.I was a welded hull Sherman so any info about it will be appreciated. Best regards.

José.

Yes, the Mk I is the M4 welded hull Sherman.

Mk I = M4 (welded)

Mk I = M4 (Hybrid, composite)

Mk II = M4A1 (cast hull)

Mk III = M4A2

Mk IV = M4A3

Mk V = M4A4

It is a very badly dated kit. One of Airfix's oldest kits around. There are multiple superior kits of just about every type of Sherman to chose over this one.

This site has some reivews on the Airfix Sherman.

OK, good to know about designations. A Revell/Matchbox Firefly is also in my plans. Thanks for your replies. Best regards.

José.
