Introducing a
variant of the Allied M4 Sherman Tank, further increasing modeling
possibilities. Known to the British as the Sherman II, the U.S. M4A1 Sherman
Tank featured a cast upper hull and turret that gave it easily-recognizable
rounded body lines. Build one together with the M4 Sherman Early Production for
an interesting view of the contrasting styles.
About the M4 Sherman Early Production
With approximately
50,000 units produced during WWII, the U.S. Army�s series of M4 Sherman tanks
were one of the driving forces behind Allied victory. Designed for efficient
massproduction and including room for future modifications, the M4 series
boasted superior ground performance with excellent reliability. Amongst the many
variants produced, the M4A1 model featured a cast upper hull and cast turret
mounting a 75mm gun. The A1�s cast upper hull gave it distinctive rounded edges,
providing a sharp contrast with the angular lines of the welded hull M4 Sherman
Early Production.
