 Subject:  Sinkholes in Italeri Marines M4 Sherman WheelsList thread.  
  
 Date:  Jun 20, 2003
 From:  Tim Streeter 
Picked up this kit on the Bruce Beamish sale at Squadron a couple weeks ago, and was disappointed to see nearly all of the solid spoked wheels in the kit have several nasty sinkholes in each wheel. The backsides, naturally, have the ejector pin marks.

I called Squadron and they kindly sent me a new sprue. Unfortunately the wheels on that one are similarly cratered.

The Squadron manager told me that ALL the M4 kits they have in stock are like that. Has anyone else experienced this on this particular Italeri kit, from kits purchased through Squadron or other sources?
