But looking now with serious eyes on the Asukas/Tascas M4A1 Mid production, which is (still) available at my LHS

Found this quite good review on PerthMilitaryModelling

The M4A1 “Faye” late production kit will be nearly identical, and just include a few more parts, such as the wide M34A1 gun mantlet more commonly seen during the campaign in NW Europe.

Thanks Tojo, just confirms, Tasca/Asuka seems to be the maker when it comes to Sherman tanks!

I believe the tracks and suspension are working on the Rye Field Models version, too. At least, I think they are... it’s an incredibly detailed kit!
