Does the turret sit right on the Sherman or does it t wobbles

I say it's superb! Figures (crew & loaders) are great...well sculpted. I have two comments though. Maybe Gary can answer these questions as he is the Sherman expert:

1. Is the M4A3E8 bigger in witdth, length & height compared to the earlier model sherman? It matches well with KC "sandbagged Sherman" and Figarti's Sherman with fording stack

2. The turret is not flushed to the base...it looks 1/32 inch higher making the turret "wobbles"

3. The gas tank provided is same size as 1/32 jerry cans as in FOV.

N-P

When I had one, I did not have a turret wobble issue, but I disagree that the Easy 8 matches well with K/C sandbagger..Looking at the overhead view, it is obvious by K/C turret overhang of the forward hull hatches and shortened rear deck, that is was compressed down from 1/30 scale. The middle tank is a "1/30 radio controlled Sherman that I repainted and added stowage..I too am curious about the relative sizes of one Sherman type versus another. I did not hate the Sherman ( I was not crazy about the color when matched against the promo cover and pamphlets.) With a repaint, I might have kept this one...my size questions not withstanding Michael

Nope, No wobble. Love the tank. I just wish C.S. Would make more booster sets., More allied tanks, without pausing with the German armor. I am Waiting anxiously For the King (tiger).

Unfortunately mine does, The turret base is sitting 1/32 inch higher...thus causing the wobble. I will be sanding it down so the the whoe turret base rests on the body of the tank. I'll post pictures when I return from the holidays.

I got it on ebay listed as 1/30 scale RC Sherman ( Heng Long mfg.? ), for about $45.00. It is supposed to be a M4A3, but I will defer to the experts. I see them now listed at $26.00 start price. It works great with a bunch of animated features and when repainted and K/C 'ed, looks more 1/30 than K/C's 1/30. Also looks near sized right to the C/S model...Michael

I like this one too... I also picked it up on E-bay and reworked it.

I would like to get another one to rework up the road. I think it is a good starting point at a great price.

That is the RC one? Nice!

The damaged tracks are nice, like the other CS releases. The damaged turret has a few too many holes in it for me. The two additional barrels are very nice. It really is a great piece for the price.

The holes are a little bit too much, But I also can see that any tank passing through will make target practice out of it. But overall it is a great tank. I love how the hatches open up, the option of making it a destroyed Sherman. is a great plus. And with all of that, for $165.00, is somewhat outstanding.
Please, Keep it up C.S.

Tank is wonderful. What really caught my attention was both the sculpting & painting detail of the figs, especially this guy. This was my first CS product & I am blown away at the figs.

The folds in the jacket, detail in the webbing belt-gives a true sense of the cotton fabric, just everything about this guy is stunningly executed.

Superb figure for sure. I really think these poses drinking coffee or tea are great just add someting different to the action type pose pointing or looking through bino's
