Italeri 1/72 M4A2 SHERMAN III 7511

Italeri has released a line of 1/72nd quick-build kits for the wargaming market. Not to be confused with their standard line of scale models, these are simplified kits along the lines of the Armourfast range, and other wargaming kits. However, the detail on this M4A2 kit is outstanding, and is far out of the league of Armourfast and the other wargaming companies. This model is the exact same size as the Dragon Sherman III kit, and the details on both the hull and turret match the Dragon kit perfectly. A close comparison shows that although Italeri didn't directly copy the Dragon kit, one wonders if the Italeri designer didn't have one in his hand...
