M4 Sherman 1:56 / 28mm US Army Plastic Scale Model Tank Kit for Bolt Action Highly Detailed World War 2 Miniatures

Very detailed tank. Never really did model making as a kid, however, this went together a treat and quickly. Nothing overly fiddly as its a gaming tank rather than display tank. Great item for your US army.

This was my first plastic kit form Bolt Action and it is essentially a proper model rather than the old plastic and metal resin. To me this meant it wasn’t something you can put together in an hour with prep work and be ready to prime. To get the best results this has to made like a proper model, time taken and alot more prep work needed.

Very simple kit with few parts. Simple to assemble and parts fit together with almost no sanding or trimming. Ideal for tabletop wargaming and would be perfect for younger modellers with a little supervision.

I’ll start by saying I’m usually quite hard on the Warlord-Italeri kits and, in my opinion, not without good reason. Fit issues, poor instructions, and gaps in track and hull are the issues I’ve encountered most often across the very wide variety of Bolt Action kits that Italeri produces for Warlord Games. This kit is a shining exception, much like the Soviet T-34/85 kit (alas, not the T-34/76)! It goes together well, with minimal gaps in hull or turret. Do yourself a favor and read through the instructions at each stage, and do some dry fitting before you glue. Especially on the tracks, if you take your time, do plenty of dry fitting, and glue sparingly, the tracks will fit the road wheels like a glove and you won’t have any gaps. This kit is not super detailed. If you want stowage, you’ll need to go with aftermarket kits (Value Gear does some really nice ones especially for this kit). But it comes with everything you need, and I didn’t even need to go into the spares box when it came to decals. Rubicon does some very nice kits but their inexplicable choice to use ABS plastic means I go with Warlord almost every time. This kit goes together with Tamiya Extra Thin cement, or any other thin polystyrene cement, like a dream. No need to gunk it up with huge amounts of glue, much less CA super glue! I did use Vallejo plastic putty to fill a few gaps, and it does the trick while being water soluble and super easy to clean up. With a little planning, you won’t even need to sand it afterward. So don’t hesitate on this one - this is a very solid kit for building M4 Sherman 75mm tanks. If you want something more specialized like the 76mm guns, a Firefly, or a British Sherman, you’ll need to go for one of the more specialized kits. But for a bog standard M4 Sherman with a 75, you really can’t beat this kit.

Comence comprando un modelo y ya tengo varios sets, este modelo fue uno de los mas sencillos pero una vez finalizado y pintado queda maravilloso (Claro, nunca mejor que un Panzer).

Soddisfatto dell' acquisto.
