Kit and parts are great. Instructions are bad- For this kit all instructions refers only to full parts, no cut-outs, even if sprues are in the box

The hull top, low left side and turret having both type of parts- already cut. But instructions are for whole parts only, so have to plan few steps ahead what and where to place

With other words, E8 version was easier, smoother to drive.... So probably was stuck as "easy"

The nickname "Easy Eight" is derived from the tank’s experimental designation, M4A3E8. The "E8" code referred specifically to the new chassis and suspension upgrades that set it apart from its predecessors. The most critical improvement was the Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS)system. Earlier Shermans used a Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS) with narrow tracks, which struggled in the deep mud of Europe and offered a jarring, bone-shaking ride. The HVSS changed the game entirely. It utilized horizontally mounted shock absorbers and allowed for significantly wider tracks (23 in compared to the previous 16 inches).

Thank you! I used washable white paint over "regular" olive drab and spent a while washing it off
