Model length: 167 mm. New adhesive chains and 7 figures included! The M4 Sherman medium tank was the main tank used by the United States during World War II. It was produced in significant numbers and formed the backbone of the armored forces of the United States during that time. Several variants and versions were made, with the first widely used version being the Sherman M4A1, characterized by the rounded edges of its fully cast upper body. Even the turret had a rounded appearance. The Sherman entered combat in 1942 within the armored corps of the United States Army during the early months of the war. It was armed with a 75 mm gun, which was later replaced in the A1 version by a high-velocity 76 mm gun. Thanks to its Continental R975 gasoline engine, the tank performed well on all types of terrain. However, the tank's most significant strength was its design. The Sherman was reliable, cost-effective, and easy to produce in large quantities. Detailed plastic model kit.
