Product scale and intended use

The set was developed in 1/35 scale, making it compatible with most plastic Sherman tank models available on the market. It is intended for the accurate recreation of historic M4A3 (75) W variants used during Allied operations in Western Europe in 1944–45.

Historical overview

The M4A3 (75) W Sherman tank formed the backbone of U.S. armored units in the final phase of World War II. The M4A3 variant was equipped with a Ford GAA gasoline engine and a 75 mm gun, featuring improvements in armor and a wet stowage fire suppression system. These versions served during, among others, the Battle of the Bulge and campaigns in Germany.
