Model characteristics: The M4A3 Sherman model from Tamiya is an accurate replica of one of the most important tanks used by Allied forces during World War II. The Sherman tank, with production reaching around 50,000 units, was a key element in many military operations, including the Normandy invasion and battles on the European front as well as in the Pacific region.

The model features detailed representation of elements such as the welded hull construction, characteristic suspension, and realistic texture of the turret's cast surface. Additionally, the model includes elements common with the Military Miniature series, allowing for even greater precision and authenticity.

Additional information:

• The model has three marking options, including two vehicles that participated in the Battle of the Bulge and one from the Pacific front.
• The tracks are made of plastic and can be easily assembled without glue, ensuring smooth movement even at low speeds.
• The model offers customization possibilities through weathering techniques and modifications, allowing for the creation of a unique piece.
