I'm going to make a M4A3/76(W) Sherman tank using the old Tamiya kit for the hull and the Italeri for the turret. Also I will utilize some pieces from the Aber set for M4's.
one of the first jobs to inprove the basic Tamiya kit is to add sponsons with plastic card
wheel assemblies come next after sanding and cleaning up the parts,
cut off the thingy at the top -to be replaced with the Aber piece.
