  This is a M4A4 with the M4A2 diesel engine carrying a FL-10 turret from a French AMX-13 tank used in the Six Day War,all were destroyed or captured. I built this one because it was such a cool looking combo of past and present left overs. It's not a very impressive kit as such unless you can't live without one and not up to what I would say are DML standards released lately. The turret and gun assembly appear to be from a different manufacture that has been adapted to an older Dragon Sherman.This would explain why I couldn't find any reviews and only one build blog,he didn't have anything good say about it. What the heck it's paid for:      Few more things need to be done yet and a lifting loop to look for. Later,IT"S FRIDAY Tony lee  |

Odd looking Duck. No major issues putting it together, I assume?

The tank part wasn't that bad but the turret was another story. Like I said above the turret look like Alan or one of the old Russian manufactures did it.

That's what it is a French AMX-13 turret but the kit turret is not good,detail is mushy and the fit is terrible,I can't be it's a Dragon product.
