Sherman M4A1(75) late 1/16 - I Love Kit
The Chinese company I Love Kit announced a new static 1/16 model in spring - Sherman M4A1(75) late version. Box art contains a few errors (including sprocket wheel from HVSS) but it was similar with their 76mm Sherman where the pictures weren't very accurate but the sprues were quite OK.

IF that does make it the market( and I hope it does), I'll bet we'll see a whole bunch of M4A1 builds on the forum!

Is the turret a low bustle?!
Sprocket is correct it seems.

If it isn't, but with the top looking correct, it would only be a matter of some plasticard under the bustle with a bit of filler.
For the record, the two small hatch cast hulls that I know of in 1/16th are already around £100 plus shipping, and both needing a correct engine deck, it's only Nick that does the low bustle 75 turret, along with Dean's low bustle firefly turret.
Making this kit a rather desirable purchase.
