Besides the decal and jeep is there any real difference in this and the ww2 easy 8 ?

The tracks, a new mantlet cover and revised engine deck are the only changes I think. Matt

The tracks, a new mantlet cover and revised engine deck are the only changes I think. Matt[/quote] And exhaust cover and a telephone call box. Same changes between any WW2 and Korean War Sherman.

56-57 bucks ( on Amazon) seems alot for a few small differences .

Part of it is including the jeep. That adds at least $10 to the price. I got the WW2 one in the mid 30 dollar range. And wait some months. The price always creeps down.

[/quote] But add another $10 at least for shipping lol . Theres a few shows coming up maybe Ill see one there .Love to see more variety in kits . I wouldnt mind spending more for a new kit , not another Tiger or Sherman with a few differences.

I dunno, I've got both Tamiya 25175, the Tasca rebox; and 35346, Tamiya's own version - and they are considerably different, more than a slight re-work IMO... Jim

Jim[/quote] Try a whole new kit based on their own tooling. There's bound to be some resemblance as they are the same subject but the Tamiya is clearly their own based on their M1 and M51 Shermans. There's only so many ways to represent the same subject, there's bound to be some similarities.
