Length of the model: 167 mm. New glueable tracks and 7 figures included! The M4 Sherman medium tank was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. It was produced in a significant number of units and formed the backbone of United States armored forces during that time. Several variants and versions were produced, with the first widely produced version being the Sherman M4A1, characterized by the rounded edges of the fully cast upper hull. Even the turret had a rounded appearance. The Sherman entered combat in the armored corps of the United States Army in 1942 during the early months of the war. It was armed with a 75 mm gun, which was replaced in the later A1 version with a high-speed 76 mm gun. Thanks to its Continental R975 gasoline engine, the tank was able to perform well on all types of terrain. However, the most important strength of the tank was its design. The Sherman was reliable, inexpensive, and easy to produce in large numbers. Detailed plastic model kit.
