Plastic model kit: Sherman II Direct Vision Type (El Alamein 1942) 1:35 Asuka 35-014

A detailed plastic model of the British Sherman II tank in the Direct Vision Type version, depicting a vehicle from the Battle of El Alamein in 1942. The Sherman II is the British designation for the American medium tank M4A1, characterized by its cast hull. The "Direct Vision" version featured observation slots for the driver and co-driver, which were eliminated in later variants in favor of periscopes to enhance ballistic protection.

Movable suspension and adjustable gun elevation angle.
The kit includes a commander figure.
Photo-etched parts for replicating fine details.
Tracks made of flexible material.
Decals allowing for the model to be finished in the colors of the British 8th Army fighting in North Africa.

Historical background:
The Battle of El Alamein was a turning point in the African campaign of World War II. Deliveries of American Sherman tanks significantly strengthened British armored forces, giving them an advantage over the Afrika Korps units. The Sherman II with a cast hull was one of the first versions of this legendary tank to be equipped in British forces in the desert.

Assembly and painting kit. Does not include paints or glue. For assembly, separately sold modeling tools are needed (e.g. cutters, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
