Many types appeared with differences in the hull and engine, but the M4 was the first type to be officially adopted, with 6,748 units produced from July 1942 to January 1944. It had a welded armor hull and was equipped with a Continental R975-C1 air-cooled radial 9-cylinder engine adapted from an aircraft engine, producing 350 horsepower and a maximum speed of 38.6 km\/h. It was equipped with a cast turret and a main gun, the M3 type 37.5 caliber 75 mm tank gun. The M4 first appeared on the Italian front in May 1943 and thereafter participated as the main force of the I armored division in all battles in Europe, including the Normandy campaign. From performance aspects such as offensive power and mobility to practical aspects such as ease of handling, reliability, and high mass production capability, it was a well-balanced masterpiece tank that played an active role as a weapon. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 35190\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/35\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344996193\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a 1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit. ★1\/35 scale, total length 175mm, total width 77mm. ★Among the many Sherman series produced, this model faithfully replicates the early M4 model, characterized by its aircraft engine, gently sloping front armor, and turret without a loader's hatch. ★Realistic surface finish, including the texture of the rolled steel plates on the hull, the weld marks, and the rough cast texture of the turret. ★The gear housing on the front of the hull is a 3-piece type. ★The 75mm gun loading mechanism and radio are also reproduced inside the turret. ★Additional armor plates attached to the sides of the hull and turret, as well as large fenders called sand shields, are also included as parts. ★The undercarriage, including spoked wheels and lightweight sprockets, is also delicately finished. ★The tracks, which reproduce the rubber pad type, are easy to assemble with a belt system. ★A wide variety of external equipment such as spare tracks and jerrycans are included. ★Includes a full-body figure of the commander and half-body figures of the driver and machine gunner. ★Three types of waterslide decals are included. \u003cbr\u003eThe photo shows the kit assembled and painted.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46477956776094,"sku":"4950344996193","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4950344996193.webp?v=1770309080","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4950344996193","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
