I have the same with M4A2 Sherman. But M4A1(75) would be appreciated ;)
Mate, I'm planning a M4A1 after the Churchill. I wouldnt say no if it was released in a kit form ! :)

Sadly very lazy releases like the Sherman’s - two almost identical kits!

Well, I for one really like those open-spoke roadwheels and idler. No more cutting up expensive Forces of Valor M4A3's or having to get them from Shapeways. I was hoping for a Cromwell or Churchill, but I will just hope these are successful for him and that he is encouraged to bring out more kits in the future.

You say lazy, I say efficient! A nice bonus for people who want to not have to convert to an Achilles, and a Brit crew member is a nice bonus.

I've always thought tamiya should have done more to do the same, with different Sherman variants, not just the kv-1/2, panther/JP and panzee iv/ JP iv we got

This year he released three kits in 1:16 (Tiger, Sherman E8, M10) and their variants. If sales are good, I hope for more ;) In general, 1:16 static models have their golden age, apart from Andy, there are also announcements from Takom, Trumpeter, I Love Kits and others.
