This M4 "early" is from the US 1st Armored Regiment in North Africa (WWII). Tamiya's M4 early type was used as the base kit and some modifications were made. The symmetrical VVSSs were from Tamiya's M3 Lee and T51 tracks were added from Italeri's M4A1. Direct vision ports, gun mantlet and differential housing were scratchbuilt. The cal. 50 MG on the turret is from Academy's recently released "US Machine Gun Set".
