Sherman M4 75mm early

Name
M4 Sherman (75 mm Early) /EXM 72035/

Producer
ExtraTech, CZ

Packing
A huge cardboard box with mediocre drawing on the foreside (based on a well-known war-time photography)

Type of kit
A plastic kit of well-known U.S. medium tank

Quality

All plastic parts are in 5 frames, 2 of them are same like in previous Extratech M10/Achilles/M36 kits. The kit also contains a little sheet with etched parts. The quality of all parts is good, with nice details. Some of included parts will not be used. They’re ready for other Sherman variants. Unfortunately kit doesn’t contain any interior parts or figures of crew. The accuracy of kit is very good, except of incorrect angle of rear hull plate.

Instruction sheet
Detailed and well-arranged. Producer also added piece of paper with correction of parts numbering.

Decals
The decals are first-rate quality, but I’m not satisfied with a choice of camo schemes – 3x Commonwealth and just one not quite attractive U.S. camo from Sicily 1943. I’d warmly welcome decals for olive drab/earth yellow tank from Monte Cassino battle (my favorite one) or some white winter camouflage from battle of Bulge for example.

General impression
A long awaited and very nice kit. Recommended!
