■Product Description
[The origin of the M4 series, cast hull]
Nearly 50,000 units of the M4 Sherman series were produced during World War II, contributing to the victory of not only the American army but also the Allied forces as their main battle tank. Among its many variants, the M4A1 was the first to begin mass production. It featured a rounded cast upper hull and was equipped with a long-barreled 37.5 caliber 75mm tank gun, proving its effectiveness in supporting attacks. It was equipped with a 350 horsepower air-cooled radial engine repurposed from aircraft. 6,281 M4A1s were produced and deployed in large numbers on the North African front, the Italian front, and the Normandy landings, fighting valiantly by utilizing its superior reliability and practicality, which surpassed that of German tanks.
