Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
U.S. M4 Sherman Early Production (1/35) 35190
This 1/35 scale Tamiya kit depicts the early production variant of the iconic U.S. M4 Sherman medium tank, the backbone of Allied armoured forces during WWII. First deployed in the Italian campaign of 1943, the early M4 featured a welded angular hull, the reliable Continental R975-C1 radial engine, and the Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS) system. Armed with a 75mm main gun, this version also carried applique armour plates on the turret and hull for added protection.
- Authentic replication of the welded hull and early production turret with 75mm gun.
- Includes applique armour plates and accurately moulded suspension units.
- Detailed depiction of hatches, transmission cover, and hull fittings.
- Perfect for diorama settings from the Italian campaign to the end of WWII.
The M4 Sherman’s reliability, mobility, and production volume allowed it to dominate the battlefield despite facing heavier German armour. This model captures the early production details that made the Sherman a critical part of Allied victory.
