The decal sheets look good to me . I think as a kit for a  first time plastic  builder , you've given them enough decals  to make a few interesting versions out of the box ( most resin kits have none ) . For the more historical builder / gamer , I'm sure they have lots of decals left over from other builds if the particular unit  they want insn't in the box  ,  ( I know I do ) as well you have your single decal sets for sale , so IMO job well done

What would be really cool (decal wise) if if you produced A5 or even A4 sheets for after sales. You could fit a lot of stuff on one and wouldn't be limited by the current size.

Games Workshop's Forge Wold do something similar.

Re: M4 Sherman - Soviet Tank Slogan Translation 170823

Is there anyone here who knows someone who knows Cyrillic translation? 
Need to spell check the tank slogans, particularly the two circled in red.  Many thanks!!




Also updated the M4A2 decal sheet by adding the 27th Armoured Brigade who had lots of Sherman III during the NW Europe campaign by removing one set of 11th Armoured Division decals...



Enjoy!
;)

Assuming it has badges for 8th and 27th Armoured brigades it is perfect (plus it has the red White red I'd patches I want for my walkers).

The Decal Sheets look good! Have you thought of producing a "Generic Sheet" of just Soviet Slogans? They could be used on any of the T-34 Series, SU-85/SU-122 kits, the upcoming T-26 Series and any future Armor Releases.... I mean there is just so many Slogans, but You could double them in Small & Medium sizes to fit the T-26 & the T-34 Turrets. Throw in some extra Soviet Stars & some Guard Unit emblems.   Just a thought!  It's like with the US Sheet, you could also add a "Kilroy was here!"    :o

The one-piece transmission cover seems to have appeared quite early on the Sherman III.

@Pinky & HOffmn - That's true. We are including the one-piece version for the M4A2.  The 3-piece transmission will appear on our upcoming M4A1 with the early M3 bogie as an option.  And, of course, all these will be interchangeable between kits.


Rubicon - on the British version, the additional panels on the hull for stowage were fabricated from the sand shields.  So you won't normally see a Sherman with both these fittings and a complete set of sand shields.  This addition was largely unique to one unit - I mentioned this before.

We just wanted to show what can be "added" to make the M4A2 to become a Sherman Mk III.  Will be up to the modeller to decide how to assemble the kit.
   Great!!! I can't wait for the release of your M4A1!!!

I'm not too tech savy, I was trying to post this in response to Track's M4 Medium tank thread.
