Tamiya 35322 Israeli Tank M1 Super Sherman (1/35)

The Tamiya 35322 Israeli Tank M1 Super Sherman model in 1:35 scale is a high-quality plastic assembly kit, designed for military modeling enthusiasts. The model represents the Israeli version of the iconic Sherman tank, known as the Super Sherman – based on the American M4A1, but significantly modernized for the needs of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The M1 version of the Super Sherman was widely used during conflicts in the Middle East in the 1950s and 1960s, including the Suez Crisis (1956) and the Six-Day War (1967).

The M1 Super Sherman stood out with its use of a British 76.2 mm caliber gun, reinforced armor, and structural changes that enhanced the performance of this WWII veteran in battles against modern Eastern Bloc tanks. Tamiya’s model faithfully recreates the specific features of the Israeli modification, such as the distinctive anti-dust shield system, detailed HVSS suspension, and the unique external equipment details typical of IDF vehicles.
