Armourfast M4A2 75MM 1/72 Scale Plastic Kit Review

A quick look at my very basic Armourfast M4 A2 with 75mm gun in 1/72 scale.
It's a great little kit, very basic and goes together in no time at all.
Ideal for beginners or those who like to add lots to a basic model.

Nice. Thanks for showing the actual sprue. Hatches opening is a must for me. Thanks

Nice review Ronan. They certainly have a large range of kits now

If memory serves this was the most common Sherman in British service, along with the diesels of course. For the desert the Italeri set comes with transfers and sand skirts but even less detail on the tracks and its near twice the price. Generally Armourfast are dimensionally accurate and as I give my sets away the low cost is a major incentive!

Head slap - This was the diesel of course, the other popular (among the Brits) version was the M4A4 with the Chrysler A57 Multibank. Doh.

@@mikesmith2905 Hey Mike, I think these were also the M4A2 Shermans were used by the Russians too. I think because of the diesel engines.

You can fool the photos and play with colored threads like cushion fill to achieve effects of flying dust or thick fumes. and both with resins to achieve water for rivers or seas, use Silicone with wire guides or not .. depending on the pulse to make vertical explosions in the water .. etc. .. like call of duty but on some boards .. xDDD

only shermans as decoration or soldiers and all their apocalyptic apocalyptic apocalypse of time on a large scale, counting that it is 1.72 vehicles and infantry cannons and positions I have made them with craft sponge and Tergopol earth pigmentation of various types and joining models with each other Puzzle type to Ride Siegfried from the River Walls, crossing Hurgten. greetings from Tenerife Canary Islands Spain. Confinement leads us to lose all those who landed in Normandy and it is not Christmas.

A nice review from you, Ronan. The Armorfast kits are a good alternative for things where the models don't need to be so completely detailed. With a good paint job, as shown here by you, an attractive result can be nevertheless achieved. Greetings, Joachim

Always like your vids but can I just point out... You've built it wrong with the gun the square should be behind the mantlet not in front of it.
