According to what I have seen in forums, IMHO it does not worth it.

Hi, thanks for the reply, think I will give it a miss looking at the comments made, I could do with finding the time and
getting my Tamiya Sherman built

Re: Hooben 1/16 sherman (fury)
I just picked one up over the weekend & its not bad so don't take what you saw over at RCU at face value - those are my photos posted a few days ago. Granted, its certainly not Tamiya grade but for the $200.00 I paid with TK22/MC6, I'd rate it above the basic HL & Trumpeter conversions & it outperforms the metal Mato M4A3 I have. It could use more weight & was told they have no idea when they'll release the planned metal upgrades. That said, Hooben is using MATO's gearbox so I'm playing with it now to see what I can retrofit between the assorted Tamy/Mato/Impact track & parts I have at my disposal. Will let you know how it goes.

Does the suspension compress or just pivot?Xiaoshan_Sailor wrote:I just picked one up over the weekend & its not bad so don't take what you saw over at RCU at face value - those are my photos posted a few days ago.

Doesn’t look as good as a Tamiya one but then for under $300 I wouldn’t expect it to be.

Make your own ...Tamiya Sherman lower hull, HL M4a3 top hull and modified Mato Turret.
