Sherman M4A3 105mm in 1/72 scale

Name M4A3 Sherman 105 mm /Eduard 7603/

Producer Eduard, CZ

Packing A huge cardboard box with a nice drawing on the foreside.

Type of kit Plastic kit of a U.S. medium tank – 105mm howitzer version.

Quality
Another kit from Sherman’s series – common project of Eduard and ExtraTech producers. Most of sprue frames are the same as in previous kits Sherman kits. Only sprue frame specific for this version includes a new turret and parts of a 105mm howitzer. According to some sources the turret has some shape inaccuracies and it seems that would be better to replace it with turret from well-known Esci/Italeri M4A1 kit. Another mistake is the same as in previous M4A3E2 Jumbo kit. According to photos most of 105’s were equipped with “duckbills” tracks extensions, but this kit contains only standard tracks. In spite of there faults it’s a very nice kit.

Instruction sheet Nice, well-arranged and detailed.

Decals Quality decals for two versions – tank from 756^th TB, February 1945 in Germany and tank from unknown unit from Battle of the Bulge in winter cammo.

General impression A nice kit, I can recommend it
