Sherman Meisters, Educate the Ignorant - which RFM M4A3 Sherman 76W VVSS Late version?

Educate the Ignorant, Sherman Meisters - which RFM M4A3 Sherman 76W VVSS Late, offers the best value, best build experience for the Sherman novice?

I’m authorized to purchase one model kit in February. Is this a worthwhile consideration?

Thank you.

Hi Wade!
Being that you get quite a few custom parts in the standard version, and sand shields were not a big item on US tanks, I would suggest the standard version. I don’t think 2 jerry cans are worth $23.
Having built the RFM M4A3 HVSS, I can tell you that this model is going to be a dream build. Mine required no putty at all, anywhere. The fit is that good.
Have fun with the suspension units, they are each a kit unto themselves.

They will be doing a interior kit as well.

Matt, thank you for the intel on the new Sherman kits and options. I’ll be passing on the upgraded version. That’s a big price gap for what’s provided in Wade’s World. Standard is looking good :+1:

@Dan Dan, thank you!

I’d over looked the interior version of the kit. That’s a seriously impressive model kit! Should make for a breath taking build and display.

Wow! That’s a spicy burrito :burrito: at ~$135 MSRP and ~$101 discounted!

I’d never be able to build the kit. It would be a New Shelf Queen on the Old Shelf of Shame :princess: :crown:

Definitely look forward to seeing one completed :raised_hands:…hint, hint

Thank you, I appreciate you looking and taking time to reply.

It’s close but that’s the older release with HVSS suspension. The new kit has VVSS suspension.
