The "Duck bill" Extended End Connector design was developed to counteract the issue of overly narrow track spacing on the original M4 Sherman in soft ground and mud. Special extensions ("Duck bill" type end connectors) increased the contact surface of the tracks with the ground, improving the vehicle’s traction properties, for example during the Normandy or Italian campaigns—particularly useful in muddy or loose terrain in Western Europe. They were used by the US Army and its allies during the intense fighting on World War II fronts.

The E.T. Model P35-094 set is perfect for upgrading or converting Shermans from many brands, allowing for an extremely realistic and dynamic diorama or standalone 1/35 model. The tracks are fully movable, which significantly facilitates their assembly and integration with the model’s suspension.

Recommendations: We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced armor modelers seeking top-quality details, historically accurate reproductions, and those who appreciate the precision of 3D elements. Due to the numerous small parts and assembly specifics, we rate the building difficulty at 4/5. It is an excellent addition to any M4 Sherman collector’s model, bringing the highest level of realism.

Thanks to 3D printing technology and full mobility, this set stands out from the competition and is a must-have for enthusiasts of realistic WWII equipment reproductions.
