This Sherman tank has great detailing, like most BBI models. The rivets, welds, paint scheme and weathering, and a rich mix of accessories is all top notch. Hatch to the engine space opens and show a very nicely detailed engine. Hatches open, turret turns, and gun pivots up and down. Wheel bogies are very good looking and the ammo boxes are extremely detailed with the typical BBI attention to printing. Negatives: barrel pulls out, machine gun does not pivot well and falls out of holder too easily, lots of loose parts (beautiful loose parts!), the figure will not fit in the topmost hatch because his canteen gets in the way, the tracks has a tendency to come loose while fighting battles but are easily put back on (like the real tank!), and there are some parts (like antenna and couple of lights) that could get broken off.

Overall, a beautiful model that I love. Note that I saw this tank in Toys R Us for the same price which would have saved me the shipping costs.

My son loved this toy, the tank looked realistic and durable to play with. Also, the price for this item was reasonable.
