                        Thanks, I figured as much, but I wasn't entirely sure. That means this is not a bad kit.... Wink [;)]

                        Not at all ..... I believe it is the Italeri kit that they had labelled a few years ago as a Jumbo (which it wasn't) but can be built into a pretty good M4A3 76

                        Yes, I built one (it was in a correctly labeled box though), it was one of my first armor models. I still have a couple on the shelf (M4A1, M4A3 with Calliope, M4A2). And a few other Shermans too: M50, M51, Firefly, 105mm.... Smile [:)]

                        Hhhmmm ..... seems we have another Sherman Freak here. Watch out for that M4A2 ... it comes up a little short in the A2 department.

                        Yes, but the name Shermanfreak was taken Wink [;)]

                        I read about the Italeri M4A2 not really being an A2. I don't know yet what I am going to do with it: make an A2 out of it with some work or just build it as an A3. If I am going to do the USMC option, I will have to convert it to A2. Disapprove [V]

                        Marines used the M4A3 too though so depending on what vehicle you're trying to depict you should be ok.

                        Best news I have heard all week! Wink [;)]
                        My references are not up to speed yet. I am still building my library. So I did not know that.
                        Nice website by the way. Great models! I wish I could build that well......
