I am so very excite to see the M4A1 (75 and 76mm) version of the Hull Kit.

Will you have the option to build the three piece and single Transmission covers?

What is the release date of this Multi-Kit?

Cheers,

Mike

I would like to thank you, Rubicon, for being so close to the Customer. It shows that you do care and are willing to get it 'Right". You have me as a loyal Customer always.

The M4A1 was used throughout the war by the Americans. Yes, there were many modifications and Upgrades. However, at the core, the distinct rounded Hull is what we're striving to achieve.

Variations come in the following:

Early Transmission Case (Cast vs. Welded)
Early M3 Bogie vs. M4 Bogie system
Early M34 vs M34A1 Mantlet (75mm)

Thank you for the considerations.

Respectfully,

Mike

This is the version I'd like to see most.

Here's the M4A1 version that I want:

Early version; notice the M3 Bogie system. Also the Track skirts and M34 Mantlet.

The Hull could be the platform to accommodate the M4 and M3 Bogie system.

Nice . But its a M4A5 Grizzly, check out the 17 tooth sprocket ( Sherman had 13 ) and the Canadian dry-pin track ( CDP ) . Easy mistake as the cast body is based on the M4A1 but with thicker cast hull ( 75mm vs 51mm on the Sherman ) . Only about 180 M4A5s made and were used a training vehicles so most came through the war intact   . In fact a few show up in The Band of Brothers episode when Bull gets trapped in the drainage ditch .

I stand corrected. Here's what I want:

Tank Recovery Vehicle M32B3 based on M4A3 - would need dummy turret , A- frame crane , tow bars etc , probably too much work . But a sand bag add on armor set or the deep wading trucking used on D Day might be a lower piece count add on

Great ideas! The Jumbo would be greatly appreciated. The Deep Wading kit would be useful on the M4 or M4A1; not the M4A3. These were not present on the D-Day Landings.

Still waiting for the M4A1...
