This all-new plastic kit is the first fruits borne of our partnership with scale model giants Italeri.
The M4 Sherman medium tank served Allied forces well, with American
and British armies fielded them in large numbers (the British calling
them the Sherman I).
Alongside the Soviet T-34, the M4 Sherman medium tank was arguably
one of the two most important Allied tanks of the war. It was supplied
by the industrial might of the United States to the British,
Commonwealth and Soviet armies in great quantities, with nearly 50,000
of all variants being built by the war’s end.
The M4 Sherman was a reliable design and was developed into several
variants throughout the course of the war, going on to serve in
conflicts beyond 1945 around the world.
The Sherman’s introduction during World War II provided Allied tank
crews with a superior design to the mid-war German panzers, and one that
was always superior to Japanese vehicles, although German tank
development would soon outstrip this stalwart of Allied armour
capability. Its 76mm of armour and 75mm main gun made it a useful tank
and its 5-man crews battled their way through Africa, Italy, the
Pacific, North-West Europe, the Eastern Front and into Germany itself.
This
highly detailed 1:56 scale plastic kit is a great combination of
detail, accuracy and the durability you expect from wargames models that
are going to see a lot action. One very cool feature of this kit is the
main gun elevates with co-axial machine gun in sync!
Aside from the kit itself we have included this full-colour
waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to create this iconic Allied tank
in many unique forms…
