1/72 M4 Sherman 75mm Gun

The venerable Sherman tank was the backbone of the US forces in WWII, and was also supplied in great numbers to the rest of the Allies. Often outgunned and out-armored, it prevailed on the battlefield thanks to strategy and sheer numbers. Many variations appeared throughout the course of the war and beyond, with Shermans serving around the world decades after the war finished. This kit depicts the mid-production M4 version of this great iconic tank.

Trumpeter's new M4 armed with a 75mm gun is a bit of a mixed bag, combining decent, sharp molding with some very simplified, inaccurate, or just plain missing detail. The hull lift rings are molded as solid slabs of plastic, and brush guards are not included at all. Other than that, detail is sharp. Tracks are provided as reasonably detailed black vinyl belts.
