As a Sherman fan, I would buy every release available. I have the BBI Sherman and it is a better designed product for the most part. There is one error with it . It has the wrong engine in it. The M4A3 has a Ford V8 engine. What BBI created looks like the twin diesel GMC engine found in the M4A2 version. Other then that it is pretty sharp.

I've read over this thread and I do agree that price or availability make a big impact. Personally I don't have the space to buy every version or repaint that comes out so I'm willing to put out a little extra cash to get the best version of what's available. From what I've personally seen of the 2 versions that has to be the BBI. I do have the die cast version of the 21st Tiger and just purchased a complete crew from the BOB2 release...looks really cool now. Just need that Sherman now(along with the crew)to complete everything. :wink:
