Description
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
Representing the American military, the M4 Sherman tank is now available in a convenient 1/72 scale model.
About the Real Vehicle:
The M4 is a medium tank developed by the United States during World War II. It was supplied not only to the U.S. but also to various Allied nations, becoming one of the most iconic tanks of the war. Development began using the chassis of the M3 medium tank, which had been in mass production since 1941, equipping it with a fully rotating turret. In October, it was formalized as the M4 medium tank. By February 1942, large-scale production, leveraging America's industrial capacity, commenced. Variations arose due to differences in specifications from various manufacturers, each designated by different model names. The first to enter mass production was the M4A1, which featured a cast upper hull. This design, with fewer manufacturing steps than the welded hull M4, allowed for quicker production ramp-up. The early models were equipped with the 75mm Gun M3 with a caliber of 37.5. It used a Continental 9-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine. Three companies were responsible for production, and by November 1943, over 6,000 units had been produced in total.
About the Model:
This model is a plastic assembly kit that faithfully recreates the M4 Sherman tank developed and deployed by the U.S. Army during World War II, scaled at 1/72. It specifically models the M4A1 type, which features a cast hull and is armed with a 75mm gun. The kit parts are molded in a color matched to the olive drab used on U.S. military vehicles, offering a simplified structure with fewer parts for easy assembly. The total length, including the gun barrel, is approximately 8 cm, and the width is about 3.6 cm, accurately depicting the curved style of the cast upper hull. The turret can rotate 360 degrees after assembly, and the gun barrel can move up and down for added enjoyment. The suspension is also realistically modeled. The tracks use a flexible belt-type plastic material for easy assembly. Additionally, a figure of a commander is included. The markings feature decals for a vehicle from the 3rd Infantry Division in France in 1944. This kit allows you to easily experience the fun of assembling a plastic model.
