Review: Classic Tamiya Kit for Beginners and Experienced Modelers Alike - This is not the newest Tamiya kit on the market, but when this and their other Sherman kits were released in the 1990s, they were state of the art. Despite their age, these kits still build up very well and are excellent choices for beginning or casual modelers wanting a trouble-free build that has a reasonable level of accuracy. Most notable criticisms of these Tamiya Sherman kits are the lack of sponsons (the area above the tracks) that prevent someone from seeing straight through from the hatches to the ground. But this is solved with a little sheet plastic if that bothers you. The single-length vinyl tracks are fine for a "tight track" tank like the Sherman, but are about one link too long. Cutting off one link's worth of length from the "male" attachment end solves this issue as well. This and the other 2 Tamiya Shermans still hold up well for anyone wanting a budget-friendly, relaxing kit that will result in a nice model you can be proud of. Experienced builders can also use the kit as a base for further detailing with great success. Recommended for all skill levels.
Review: Great kit for beginners. - I enjoyed building this kit simple and easy to understand instructions with plenty of stowage. The only thing I don’t like about the kit is that the tracks are rubber

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamiya U.S. Army M4A3 Sherman Tank
*by J***R on February 17, 2024*

This is a plastic model kit which will require assembly and painting. It come molded in olive drab plastic. Tamiya is a Japanese company known for the military models, paints and glue. This kit represents the U.S. Sherman tank which was widely used in Europe and to a lesser extent in the Pacific. I refer to this as the short barrel Sherman, the U.S. would later outfit some Sherman's with a more powerful cannon in response to German armor. Some Sherman tanks in the Pacific theater had flame throwers for a main weapon, to burn out Japanese troops hidden in bunkers and caves. Like all of most Tamiya models it is finely detailed and parts fit well. It is a kit that can keep a builder busy for hours. I really like this kit.
