Any seasoned AFV modellers out there who can tell me the best kit to use as a basis for a British version based in India 44-45. My father used to drive one whilst with the 25th Dragoons and I would like to be as accurate as possible. He can`t remember serial no etc but the crew named it `Geisha girl` so I can at least put that on it! Many thanks in advance.

The most likely one would be a Sherman I or V, and that means you need either a Tamiya or DML kit.
Tamiya makes an M4 Early which is what the Sherman I was to the British.
DML makes a late-model M4 Composite hull which was a late model Sherman I, as well as an M4A4 which was the Sherman V.
There are literally a TON of aftermarket items to get these kits to match a specific prototype, including tracks, stowage and brass.
There are a number of differences, and the best advice is to first get a photo of the tank and then match kits and components.

Heller has in its range a very good (and cheap) M4-A4 (1/35 scale)

Huh? I thoght I knew all the Shermie kits. Looking at the Heller site I see a M4A3(76)W VVSS. Dragon has a M4A3(76)W VVSS listed, too. I'm guessing that the Heller kits are Dragon kits reboxed.

Ok, you are right, it's well a M4A3(76)... but I don't know if it is a Dragon kits reboxed. In my knowledge, Heller never rebuilt Dragon kit, but it is maybe the case fot this one. I will ask to my buddy, member of Heller staff monday.

I believe Heller has released the Italeri M4A1. Curt
