THE KIT:
Bronco is a prolific model company based in Hong Kong, China. They make all manner of model subjects in the popular scales.
This kit comes in a shrink-wrapped tray end opening type box. I am no fan of this type of box, because invariably parts or the decal sheet find their way past one of the end flaps to become lost forever. However, in this kit there is no decal sheet to loose. Give me a tray and lid type box any day of the week.
The box art shows a side view of a Sherman and the tracks, against a yellow background. One corner of the box art says: Detailed scale model for adult collector.
Not a toy. For modelers age 14 and older. Box contains parts enough for a Sherman model kit. Contains functional sharp edges and points. Actual model may vary from image on box. Easy assembly. Accurately detailed with extra spare tracks.
One side panel says the kit is not suitable for children under 3, due to small parts. Contains functional sharp edges and points. Keep out of reach of children. Bronco's street address in Hong Kong, China and their e-mail and web addresses are provided.
The other side panel says kit is for modelers 14 and older.
The bottom of the box is the assembly and painting instructions with part trees illustrations and a suggested color listing of Mr. Hobby, Humber and Tamiya brands of hobby paints.

There are also 8 identical light-tan letter Ba trees. They hold pads (24 parts each).
This is a neat kit to use to replace rubber band type vinyl treads found in a lot of Sherman kits, plus they are workable.
