Panzer Art RE35-519 M4 “Sherman” 75 front turret with deep wading canvas cover (Normandy and Pacyfic tanks) 1/35

Panzer Art RE35-519 is a high-quality resin detail set representing the front turret of the M4 "Sherman" 75 mm tank, equipped with the distinctive, textured deep wading canvas cover. This model recreates a unique feature used by Allied forces during amphibious operations and in swampy terrains, particularly in Normandy and on Pacific Islands during World War II.

Scale and Material

The accessory is made in the popular 1/35 scale, ensuring perfect compatibility with most M4 Sherman models available on the market. It is made from the highest quality modeling resin, offering excellent detail fidelity and significantly greater precision compared to standard plastic parts. Thanks to a very pronounced canvas texture and precise reproduction of bolts and mountings, the accessory faithfully captures the modified turret’s appearance for deep wading—something unattainable in traditional plastic kits.

Historical Information

M4 Sherman tanks were the standard American medium tanks of World War II, widely used by US, British, and Commonwealth forces. Turrets with deep canvas covers over the gun mantlet appeared during the famous Normandy Invasion (D-Day, 1944), as well as in the Pacific theater, where persistent mud and water demanded such modifications. The additional cover protected mechanisms and the crew from flooding during landings and wading in difficult terrain conditions.
