This has been a most eagerly awaited release,and I predict a very popular one too.
I'm sure it will not be long before upgrades follow too.
I'm nearly finished on my Tamiya Sherman and have accumilated a fair bit of info and pictures of all models of Sherman that I could put to good use.

However as I have just purchased a Stug 3 and metal tracks from you Forgebear,I may have to wait a while before starting another Sherman.

So can you clear up the confusion:

Is it a Heng Long or a Matorro? Or are both companies making a Sherman? Swathdiver seemed to be talking about the Matorro one, not HL.

TIA

i think it was orriginally going to be Mato, then switched to HL ? not sure on that, would also like confirmation!

It's a Mato Sherman (it's there first tank).

There's been rumours that HL are doing a different Sherman.

There are a lot of compaines that are linked HL, Matorro etc I think they all come from the same factories.

hi guys. this is the mato version. unfortunately, I have just been told by the supplier, they are only doing a bb firing version to start with

I guess I should reduce the number I intended to order as none of you will be after that version.

apparently is is the M4A1(76)W version, will be BB only, have sound and no smoke and no metal gear boxes, these have yet been developed. I wish I hadn't mentioned it now. I'll get me coat........

I will speak to heng long and see if I can get something better :-[
