hl/tam ....tam a fair bit shorter than a hl ,glacis angle slightly different on the tam ,the side height is higher on the tam ,in comparison the tam has a stubby look to it ,prefer the hl ,so MY opinion is, looks more tam than hl and the turret slightly smaller due to the bustle ? at tad on the small side and this may make it look as if its sat back a bit ? and the turret not quiet as high ?

Will done CH,there's a big difference there so witch one is wrong if at all. The models are all 1/16th scale. How if that's the case did the company get it so wrong. Brian...

Keep in mind, the Shermans built with the Chrysler Multi-bank A57 were longer than regular Shermans as well! Those were mostly British Shermans though, the Ford v-8 engine was favored by the U.S.

That engine was pretty amazing tech at the time, even if it didn't perform much better than the big V-8s. 30cyl in a 5 point star shape, sooo cool.



Here's an example on how to tell them apart. Just look at the space between the track wheels! The longer Sherman had a much more noticeable gap! Easy to tell when you know what to look for.

the tam turret is slightly smaller than the hl one but at the end of the day ITS A SHERMAN ....wot wot .....

I have recieved my tanks and to be quite honest it must be the pictures. I have one beside me right now and it looks correct for what an A3 75mm should look like. I have several real examples not 15 minutes from my house and I compare my pictures of them and it actually looks pretty dang good other than the escape hatch on the taigen is a bit pronounced in comparison to the real one.
For a late production it is reasonably close.

I think I will just get the lower when that's available
