Academy M10 Duckbill 1/35?

It is a good kit. The hull angles and turret are slightly off but it is a fun build with many nice touches included in the box. Since Sherman tracks (of which this is a variant) are live, there really isn't a need to replace the tracks for sag. If the seam on the vinyl tracks bother you, then it may be a reason.

You can find Terry's review here for a closer look at the sprues:

Here is a nice tweaks list on Track-Link:

If you must fix the upper hull, you can find a template to do so here:

I would go with the Academy version. Back when the AFV Club version came out,I had built it. The tracks that came with it were a wee
bit short. :pinch: I used the AFV Club T48 indy link set. Plus,the Academy version has the driver's controls.
 
I am hopefull of getting this one Its right on top of my birthday wish list.

I circled it in red also :blush: with a BIG red 1 next to it and a small message of how much I want it :geek
 
If you could live without the interior, some Wolverines had armored roofs added, I may be able to scrounge up a kit for you. There will be no box but I am certain I still have the decals and instructions. I bought the kits (2 each of the Wolverine and Achilles) for parts such as the interior and detail bits. Price would be shipping only.

To clarify, I took the hull interior, the engine (which only came in one release), and sprues with molded on bits designed to be shaved off. Turret interior is still on the sprues.

PM me if this interests you as I have to go into the bin and gather the sprues.

These Free French Wolverines all have the turret roof armor.
