Picked up Cobi's Sherman and I like it a lot! I'd heard a lot of bad things about the thinner tracks used for the Sherman, but they actually work pretty well. The links are a bit trickier to attach than the wide tracks, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. Didn't have any issues with the thinner links breaking that I'd seen other people report, though I did stress the plastic on one link while I was still figuring out the best method of attaching them (you get several extra track links though, as usual). Perhaps Cobi has revised the plastic on the thin track links to be more flexible and resistant to breakage, as the box indicated an August 2018 production date for my set.
I love the shaping of the hull, I think it looks fantastic, and I like how they simulated the suspension. The turret, however, looks a little too small and set too far back on the hull. The smallness of the turret is exacerbated by the oversized .50 cal on top but it still looks cool.
