Status: offline 		Just so you know ... the tank was released a while ago & was also being discussed thoroughly in another thread started back on November 23rd, there are LOTS of good pictures of it there too => Pictures of Heng Long Sherman M4A3

Though it is good to know more & more distributors are picking it up for sale.

Difference ... maybe or maybe not a difference in this case ... can you guarantee they are in stock & will ship immediately from HobbyRaw right after one is ordered?

Because far too many vendors these days show stock & availability of an item, but ultimately have delays in actually being able to ship the item because they really don't have the item in stock.

Man, I cannot wait to scuff them up after I rust the crap out of them! Even if they are all wrong.

As I have nothing to do with Hobby Raw, why would I guarantee anything they say on their website? I am just stating they have prices, pictures and are selling them. If this isn't the case then I guess they will feel the rath of the consumer.

I have my source of supply through a friend, and am in no hurry to order from Hobby Raw. This is the first I even heard of them.

Don't see a Walthersons anywhere in the labeling either, so I am guessing these are direct from Heng Long.

You really didn't need to answer the rhetorical question Dan , exactly why I stated,
"Difference ... maybe or maybe not a difference in this case" &
"Because far too many vendors these days show stock & availability of an item, but ultimately have delays in actually being able to ship the item because they really don't have the item in stock."

I already knew you couldn't guarantee they were actually in stock & for sale, even though you stated it as some kind of "Difference" & them being, "instock & for sale" in your post concerning this particular vendor. So no difference to any other vendor that I can see just yet, unless someone can verify they ordered one & it's been shipped already.

Status: offline 		I am really interested in seeing what these are like, but I am waiting until after some other brave soul runs out and tests them. I have too many other priorities on my desk, and I can wait until we start seeing some hobbyist reviews of this tank before I run out and buy one.

Status: offline 		Yeah, it sucks this is coming out JUST before Christmas!

Imagine everyones expression on their faces knowing I bought ME something right before! Our tree isn't that big to slide it under either, so... I guess I can make it a tax-time ordeal? 39 bucks shipping is a bit much right now too so maybe someone in the states will sell them?

Status: offline 		It's amazing, with everyone screaming for other tanks, especially British, that these people still hang on the 105mm model which was never a first line combat tank. It was an infantry support tank issued 1 or 2 to an Army tank company. Guess it provides modellers to do more conversion work to have a combat oriented Sherman.

THERE IT IS!!! Finally an intelligent answer.

They don't care about modelers, because they know they will change it anyway so why not make it appealing to EVERYONE!!

I think you're a little rusty.

But the tracks horns are not in the correct position.
