Well, at least this kit will be available in Europe. I hope Andy's kit will be too.

But I think I will wait for Andy's kit as it's 40 EUR cheaper ;)

A model with 2000+ parts like the Trumpeter Panzer IV and Panther have a full interior. The Trumpeter T-72 for example, without interior only has 700 parts, and the Tamiya M4 has about 535. I do not understand how a 1/16 model could have 2200 parts with just an exterior. That would explain the cost difference between the two upcoming Sherman kits. Although it is not advertised with an interior, i hope that i am right as a 1/16 Sherman with interior would be awesome.

Would most of those be in the track links? 5 parts per link gets real big real fast.

I saw the most recent Andy's video on his Sherman and it looks great. He even puts it on a Tamiya hull for comparison.
