Re-Release 1/16 Scale Plastic Mato Sherman Sherman M4A1

Just found this on the internet, thought it my be of interest, it’s the re-release of the original plastic Mato Sherman with cast hull.
Anyone need an M4A1 cast hull
Thanks Tiger6 for pointing out it maybe a Bogus Website, proceed with caution ……..

I think you have found a Zombie webpage, there are other things for sale there that haven't been available for years like the Mattorro KingTiger with the moulded on Zimmerit (if you check the page, they have linked a video from youtube by our old friend Phil Pfluger demo'ing his El-Mod conversion!).

A quick glance at Mato's Canadian storefront doesn't show either the M4A1 or the Matorro KT, and if those items were coming back, I would expect MatoMart to be carrying them. The other red flag is the copyright notice at the bottom of the page dated '2012'.

Interesting! I remember when that was released with much fanfare and excitement. Finally a budget Sherman for people without Tamiya wallets and the cherished VVSS! A bit toyish and the ungainly front diff cover to fit the gearboxes calmed some of the fever. Still, a pretty significant milestone in the hobby. I can remember talk of different upper hulls/turrets available mainstream to make all sorts of variants, but that never happened. Still, I've got a used one to use as a basis for my Grizzly and I like it...plus it fits my budget.
It will be interesting to see how this release does. Never liked this version but that's just my taste in Shermans.

Mike.
