The box is really thick, I'll also be printing up some tank riders and maybe an Officer which will be posted on the 3D Forums for 3D printing

The Tamiya files help make this job a lot easier

The Sherman is on hold till we move and it's all packed up. I'm going to finish the Jeep before we move which there'll be a post for that after completion

Been thinking about getting this kit for awhile. We're there any issues in its assembly? I have the 1/16th Stug in my stash. 

Would love to see them make a 1/16th M18 Hellcat, M4 Sherman (Early), M4A1 (75mm), M3 Lee and Grant, M3 A1 U.S. Halftrack.

Now he has an M10 Achilles and Wolverine. 

Lots of German armor and soft skins.  

The 1/16th scale is expanding. 

Harold

@harold-adams it's a great kit and I stopped building it and started on the 1/16 scale Jeep. I almost got it done before we packed up and moved. Now I'm just waiting to get the new ((BIGGER)) hobby room done.

All in all I'd say you'd enjoy the kit
