Good video. I've always been partial to the cleanness of plastic models but in this case I do agree that the jaggedness of the plates adds to the detail. But as a game that plays at hip height or below it's detail you lose anyways more or less.
I did some checking on the web and found that Gen Patton had about 100 M4A3 Shermans converted in theater, but there are also pictures of Jumbos from the US without the jagged edges. So both seem to be correct.
@@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall I have only assembled one so far, but I did find that small gaps were forming between the upper and lower hull. I wrapped a rubber band around it length wise to pull the pieces together while the cement cured. Ii looks great now.
I wonder, why is nobody adresses an issue with a new plastic Jumbos - that ugly bulge on a lower part of a turret (side view). It's hillariosly huge, while there was no such issue on the resin Jumbo model. Not to mention that new plastic M4A3E8 were modelled corretly - without that bulge.
@@pwntehnoobs compare IRL photo of Jumbo's sideview with a new plastic model. On a lowest part of turret where it should alling with a hull, there is an obvious bulge or should I call it a shot trap. Check the boxart for a new plastic, there is a shadow between hull and a turret - this is it. On a IRL jumbo and on old resin model there is no such obvious shot trap. Cheers
Awesome sauce. Could you if you haven’t already do a painting tutorial on painting the tank crew plz. Could use that help. Ty bro
I'll try at some point. Currently need Cataract surgery so my painting is not at it's best (Stupid Depth Perception).
I'm still a fan of the old one because I love the extra little detail that it gives
Yes the welding details give the tank it´s special look.

The Jumbo set comes with 4 tanks I believe.
I agree, the Jumbo and Easy 8 are the easiest FoW plastic tanks that I have assembled. No tiny fiddley parts and they also look great.
Did you have any issues with the Chaffees? I had some minor fit problems with them that I didn't get with the Sherman hulls.

@@Nahomag1 What bulge are you talking about?

Love the older models so much better
