For a second I thought the first picture was a real life reference photo. Nice work!

I cant figure out how to purchase on that site, i dont read the language.

also, just wondering, it looks like the bolt pattern on the transmission cover are facing the wrong way, in your pictures they look like they face out instead of down, they look kinda funny.

I ordered my kit yesterday.
i will warn Americans up front, the conversion from the Euro and shipping make this body kit cost about 350 US. Not a cheap kit but with all the cast parts I believe it is worth it.
I have been mocking up one of these from a 1:35 model I was measuring to scake up and make the parts. i believe the cost is justified from what I have seen.

Thumbs up

This is really a beautiful kit!

Of course one will need either the Tamiya or Mato lower rear hull plate for the A1 radial engine features to replace the Heng Long A3 parts.

I suspect he left that to us, making them would have increased the kit price and tamiya ones are easy to purchase.

Umm... I wasn't attempting to correct Chris, I know he knows but more for those that would build the TRV THIS way with the cast upper hull it needs the radial engine features on the lower end.

AND I do believe it came in the HVSS and welded hulls as well.

That's all.

hi

if you see something wrong or see improvment posibilitys plese show me. i m far far away to be a sherman expert. this projekt comes becouse a frind of me loves crane vehicles and so the idea about that sherman comes. Allways triing to finde the bestway about taking existing parts and making new parts. during the development and all the brainstorming with other frinds (shrman lovers) i m geting realy impressed about all that diverent sherman variants and posible diverent details.. dam german tanks are so simple lol.

so if any part is need to made that version complet, more relaistik, or made a diverent version out of a diverent factory at a diverent producing date ...lol. just let me knew :-).

Ok, take a look at the rear of the Tamiya Sherman kit. The M4/M4a1 hull that the Tamiya kit and your kit use should have the large engine door and exhaust pipes and air filters that come in the Tamiya kit.

IF you use the M4a3 henglong hull, you need to grind off the rear engine door and exhaust pipes and install the ones that come in the Tamiya kit or make your own.
