I picked up the new Tamiya Sherman through Squadron Mail Order's subscriber special (offered 27 Dec). I thought I was getting the new 75mm gun kit, but the new 105mm gun kit came in. Oh well, it'll do and it was only $25.

I have (in my batcave) the old Tamiya M4A3, the newer M4 Early Production, and now the M4A3 105mm kit. (I also have the Jumbo and ancient M4A3E8 motorized kit, but will leave those out of the review).

I'll work on a side-by-side review of the three kits and may even through in some pictures of the sprues that actually differ. I may get it done this weekend, but the wife's birthday is tomorrow and she may have other plans for us this weekend.

I'll be eagerly awaiting anything on the M4A3 105mm.! Hoping it'll be my next project. :-)
