I don't know if you remember me. But, I commented on your "Let's Build a Tank " series about 2 weeks ago. This was the first kit I built. After 40 years. The information you gave me was an incredible help. I even am in the process of converting it to a U.S. version. Next i think I'll tackle a Panzer mk 5 . Maybe a diorama as well. Thanks again ~Bill

I bought this kit! Basically it is OK to build a 1967 six days war M51 Isherman but@6:23Option C :A 1973 M51 in Yom Kippur war is basically wrong and not sufficient parts provided! I purchased a 'Legend'(A south Korean brand) off market resin and metal parts to add on my Tamiya M51 of 1973. Those parts including extra tool boxes,the search light mounted on the mantlet, rear luggage basket, correct IDF jerry cans..etc. By the way,lack of reseraching the IDF insignia caused their decals were wrong either.I also bought the resin kit from Verlinden of adding crews bags, boxes of ammunions for the M51 but later I decide to share it with my Kal Shot!

Israeli military equipment has always been really cool, this one is no exception

Excellent unboxing vid, very well discussed. Looks like a decent Sherman kit.

Inbox review Tamiya 1/35 M51...check it out!

Nice review. Thanks. I built one of these a year or so ago. It's very easy to build, but a bit basic. I think that Eduard and maybe Voyager do upgrade sets for it. Well done for getting it at a sensible price.

Thanks for the review, should be a nice build, Tamiya kits are so well engineered and like you say should full together... I think they have lost the plot a bit on there price lately as a lot of them are old kits with a few odd extras or re-boxings.. still have fun with her and looking forward to your build... best regards Pete...

good review

Looks like a great kit to build

Great review Tacticaljackalope! She's going to be a nice build :-)

I love Tamiya's rubber band tracks, and I don't care who knows it! :)

Nice review mate! I'm not a big sherman guy too, though I have a dragon M4A3 that I look forward to build but I know nothing about them. That's an interesting variation I will keep an eye open for that model in the future. When are you planing to build it?

Typical of a Tamiya kit, well over priced. I've glad you got such a great deal on it Andy, sound like it was a fair price for that kit too. It certainly looks better then the dragon Isherman that I just finished or the m50 that Scale model Alberta did not long ago. He may have done that kit as well... I can't remember. I'll be interested in seeing come together. Have tonnes of fun with it buddy.

Is this a good starter?
