Tasca
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII

Tasca Modellismo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company that first attracted the attention of U.S. armor fans in 2005 with its two sets of VVSS suspensions. While both are excellent (and pricey), the Early set has been particularly popular since it is difficult to source from other kits. The suspensions are noteworthy since they are fully articulated. In 2006, Tasca produced two .50 machine gun sets and a Firefly Sherman, followed in 2007 by the best set of U.S. jerry cans and a much acclaimed M4A1 Sherman. The 2008 follow-on, the M4A1 Sherman Late Production, looks like a winner as well.
