Description

The Sherman was the most famous American tank of WWII, and Dragon has introduced an M4A2 variant in its 1/72 scale range of kits. The original 31,800kg M4A2 is interesting in that it was the only diesel engine version of the Sherman to see widespread service, mostly with Soviet (as Land Lease equipment), British, Free French and U.S. Marine Corps forces. Because of its diesel engine, the M4A2 had a completely different engine deck and rear hull plate from those of other variants. Features: - Completely new upper hull with superb details - Hull side plates are reproduced with a correct horizontal upper edge - Realistic welding seams on Sherman hull - New driver’s and radio operator’s hatch assembly - Turret is produced by slide mold - Slide-molded barrel - One-piece T54E1 VVSS tracks by DS - Gun shield with fine bolt details - Finely rendered horn guards for headlight - Photo-etched parts included - Cartograf offer various decal markings Text is copyright by Dragon.
