Russia was closing in on the Eastern front while American bombing raids were devastating German cities. Italy had been liberated and the Allies were quickly moving through France and the Low Counties. The end looked near for Germany unless they could succeed in a great offensive push, which is exactly what they attempted. On December 16, 1944, an American sentry reported countless ‘pinpoints of light‘ flickering along the German line. Seconds later, shells exploded around him and he realized that the lights were the muzzle flashes of hundreds of German guns. A massive German counteroffensive was underway along the 85-mile Ardennes front. In the north, the Sixth Panzer Army struck the U.S. 99th and 2nd Divisions. In the center, the fifth Panzer Army hit the 106th Division, the 14th Cavalry Group and part of the 28th Division. In the South, the Seventh Army clashed with the U.S. 4th, 9th and 28th Armored Divisions. Although the Allies were initially sent reeling, courageous troops and rugged armor such as the Sherman tank eventually turned the tides of battle. One of the most used versions of this tank was the 75mm gun-equipped M4A3 Sherman, which used a V8 450hp Ford engine. The late production version first rolled out of the factories in February 1944 with an angled front hull and 63.5mm armored plate. To the turret, a cupola for the commander and hatch for the loader were added. This version was also equipped with wet ammo storage bins, which helped prevent internal fires, a weakness of earlier Shermans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMidst-of-Battle Figures Bring Set to Life!\u003cbr\u003e\nAny number of exciting dioramas is made possible with this set of M4A3 Sherman tank and 3 infantrymen.

The first version to be produced, the cast-hull M4A1, was succeeded by the welded-hull M4, the diesel engine M4A2, and finally the most widely-known tank of the series, the M4A3. Three types of main armament were used on the M4A3: on the initial production types, the 75mm main gun and on the subsequent types, the 76mm main gun for heightened penetration. Finally, to provide heavy fire support for assaults on enemy outposts, the powerful 105mm howitzer was later adopted. The 105mm howitzer was carried in a M52 combination mount and a vision cupola was fitted for the commander with a small hatch for the loader. It could fire M1 shells at angles from -10 to +35 degrees at a maximum range of 11,500m. About 500 of the M4A3 (105mm) were produced at the Chrysler factory in Detroit from May to September 1944. From September 1944 horizontal volute spring suspension was introduced on the M4A3 (105mm) together with the wider center-guide T66 tracks. The M4A3 (105mm) were deployed to European Theatre from July 1944, and played an indispensable role in the destruction of enemy positions by the U.S. infantry fighting on the front lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003e\n★Plastic assembly model kit of U.S. WWII M4A3 Sherman. ★Overall length: 172mm, width: 76mm. ★The smooth form of the cast turret with 105mm howitzer and welded hull of this late production M4A3 tank overflow with realism. ★Commander's cupolas, loader's hatch and other hull and turret hatches can be modeled in the open or closed position. ★Two kinds of road wheels and sprockets can be selected; rubber padded tracks also included. ★Three infantrymen and one tank commander in realistic poses bring an air of excitement to the kit. ★Included equipment includes ammunition boxes, tripod, ration boxes, and much more. ★Three types of decals included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51471860695307,"sku":"35251","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/tamiya-35251-m4a3105-sherman.jpg?v=1749110522"},{"product_id":"tamiya-35346-1-35-m4a3e8-sherman-easy-eight","title":"M4A3E8 Sherman ‘Easy Eight’","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Easy Ride\u003cbr\u003e\nThe U.S. M4 Sherman tank was undoubtedly one of the symbols of WWII, deployed in great quantities and numerous variants to counter the potent threat of German armor.
