This boxed set contains:
- 1 x M4A3 Sherman 1/72 scale medium tank
United States Army
The M4 medium series utilized various forms of power plants.The Ford GAA engine version was designated M4A3
. The M4A3 mostly seen on the battlefield had the hull of a revised 47 degrees glacis armor arrangement and two larger hatches as compared to the old hull.Changes also took place in the prduction run to use a ‘high bustle turret‘. T he armor on the right-hand side of the turret was thickened in the casting process to compensate the thinned down inner armor needed to mount the gun equipment. So the turret no longer spotted an added on appliqué armor anymore. The kit faithfully depicted this kind of turret and a choice to build the early hull without the front ventilator blower cover.
