I was looking at the in coming of Sherman's this place has, the first one next month they claim the M4A1, but the M4A2 Okinawa, M4A3(76)W, and the M4A3E8 are all unknown when they come in, but at least I'm seeing a price tag for them now, I know they are going to be built, I hope.

Before they just seemed like something that never was going to take place, and I never realized that DML was doing so many so soon, they all say new, so I'm assuming they will be like the Russian tank in quality.

Does anybody else have any insight on these.

Kerry, yes there are a number of new Shermans coming out from DML. These are:

6062 M4A2 Okinawa

6083 M4A3(76)W

6183 M4A3E8 (76) 'Thunderbolt VII

6228 Firefly IC (New Moulding??)

6255 M4A3(76)W VVSS Sherman Battle of the Bulge (Thunderbolt IV)


Re-released (and available now) is the M4a1. Next up is 6255, which will be available in July....Jim

Jim do you know if they all are going to have metal barrels, and things, like the Russian one did, and is that going to be the normal from now on.

With them having the price tags and everything now, you would think that they was coming sooner, July still sounds like a long ways off for the next one, then who knows for the one after that, they just had the first one do in next month, at the place I was looking at.

I see your listing 5, they only had 4 listed as new coming in, they must of missed the new molding of the firefly.

From now on, with these Shermans, it is reasonable to expect the same quality as the M4a2 - Metal barrels, photo-etch figure sets etc., etc... Jim

Here's a review of the upcoming M4A3 (76) W by Cookie Sewell

Thank you Chad for this review, boy it must have a lot of extra pieces with that many parts in the box, cause I only seen them kind of piece numbers on ships, and thank you Jim for letting me know about the others I missed, and filling me in on how they will be from now on.

Isn't kit# 6083 supposed to be a re-release of the HVSS version? Having never bought that kit the first time I don't know if it comes with a metal barrel originally. I doubt it because of the age of the kit. Do you think they will update the contents with new metal barrels?
