Ouch! I didn't realize how badly off the HB E8 was...
Nor did I know about Tamiya's A3/A4-style hull hatches; yikes! Thanks for that one John!
I did know about the Tamiya M4A1's Grizzly rear deck, if not exactly what it is actually...
The question still unclear to me; how good is the Hobby Boss M4A1 76mm, if you correct the "shoulders" squarer as detailed here with two different methods two years ago? Are the only remaining problems in the turret? If so, how bad are they?
