I need to clear some space on my shelves, so I have to part with some of my collection. THIS IS MY LAST ONE! A couple of decades ago, the major model companies launched lines of 1/48 scale armor. I saw it as a “Goldilocks” fit in between the standard 1/35 scale and the diminutive 1/72 scale armor lines. The nicest thing is the compatibility with the extensive line of 1/48 aircraft kits available from so many suppliers. The M4 Medium tank (Sherman) was widely produced and used by many Allied nations during and after WWII. It may not have been the best or most advanced tank on the battlefield, but there were usually more of them. Hobby Boss has created a series of M4 tank kits in this scale and this one represents the Mid-Production M4A4 Medium Tank. There are over a dozen listings for this kit on eBay (mostly from distant overseas sellers), but I am a Top Rated Plus US seller who has this in stock and can ship this item very quickly. Here is what I found about this wonderful kit around the web: The Hobby Boss site (looks just like the Trumpeter site) has some photos of the box art, decals and six photos of a finished model, along with the following brief blurb on the important Sherman tank: The M4 medium with a welded hull and Whirlwind radial aircraft engine was the third type of the series to put into production. As the war dragged on, numerous changes were made to the M4, the changes of the final drive housing, the heavy VVSS suspension system, different kinds of road wheels, added-on armor but the 75mm main gun and the 56 degree glacis plates remains un-changed. Until a final version of hull combining a cast front and a welded rear! The kit contains the open spoke road wheels with details down to the tiny grease plug, the appliqué armors and both the early M34 gun mount and the M 34A 1 combination gun mount. Scalemates.com has a listing showing this is a new tool from 2006 that has spawned a handful of additional variants. The site provides a link to download the complete 10-page instruction set and many links to a review, aftermarket parts, books, walk-arounds and galleries of completed M4 tank kits. Terry Ashley did a thorough First Look Review on the perthmilitarymodelling.com site. He breaks down the review along the major components (Lower Hull, Tracks, Upper Hull, Fenders, Turret, Instructions and Decals), providing photos of all the parts and pieces, including the decal sheet. He also makes comparisons with the comparable Tamiya kit, which he prefers in the end. He says a few nice things about the kit, like: “Thrown in for good measure is a small sprue with twenty rucksacks which have quite good detail and will come up well with careful painting as well as a selection of jerry cans with strange looking embossing on the cans but with separate handles and a few wood boxes and small metal drums to add as stowage.” Jonathan Prestidge did a comprehensive Build Review on the modelingmadness.com site. He starts with the history of the Sherman before describing the kit. It was his first armor model, so he wasn’t bothered by any inaccuracies in the kit. He provides a rundown on his construction and painting of his model with helpful tips as he goes. Throughout, we get a half-dozen dazzling photos showing various views of his wonderful model. His conclusion contains: “In my opinion, the Hobby Boss Shermans look good when finished. I actually went and climbed all over a local M4A4 and I couldn’t spot the “fatal” flaws of this kit without a slide rule. The fine details and photo-etched guards are really nice. The sprue dedicated to stowage is an added value as well”. This kit is in a small 12” x 8” x 2.5” box with dramatic box art. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and still sealed with the original tape strips, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains one complete injection molded plastic model kit with over 250 grey plastic parts, photo etched metal parts, including a set of vinyl one-piece tracks and a small set of decals. It requires cement and paint to complete as shown. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid and for a limited time, this item is offered with $5 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
