U.S. Medium Tank M4A1 Sherman

Plastic model kit from TAMIYA, for the assembly of an U.S. Medium Tank M4A1 Sherman of the WW II, on 1/48 scale. Includes sprues with plastic parts, assembly instructions and decals.

The M4 Sherman tank was produced in several variants, a result of mass production spread across several manufacturers and several years. It was also the basis for a number of related vehicles, and Shermans have been modified by several nations, ranging from upgrades to complete hull conversions for another task. Originally designed in 1941, M4 variants were still used by Israel during the 1967 and 1973 wars. The M4A1 variant had a continental radial engine, one-piece cast hull, 75mm cannon and the last production units of the M4A1 used a modified hull with large drivers' hatches.
