Italeri 00225 1/35 Scale M4A1 Sherman
Introducing the Italeri 00225 1/35 Scale M4A1 Sherman: The Legendary American Tank In 1941, as the possibility of American involvement in the war became inevitable after the German attack on Russia, President Roosevelt ordered significant production increases of the medium tank M4. Derived from the previous M3 "Grant" model, the M4A1 Sherman featured major improvements in its superstructure, armament, and welded or cast hull. Equipped with a 75 mm gun, the "General Sherman" proved insufficient against German tanks, leading to a series of enhancements, including a completely new turret and a more efficient 76 mm gun. The resulting prototype, designated M4A1, was introduced in January 1944, with approximately 3,400 units produced until the end of the war. While the M4A1 Sherman had its shortcomings, such as the lack of protection, resourceful crews often resorted to attaching sandbags, cement, or steel blocks to reinforce vulnerable areas. Despite these challenges, the tank's numerical superiority, great maneuverability, and excellent 76 mm gun allowed it to hold its ground against German tanks. The M4A1 Sherman played a pivotal role in the invasion of Normandy and participated in various European theaters of war. Now, you can bring this iconic American war machine to life with the Italeri 00225 1/35 Scale M4A1 Sherman kit. Experience the history, attention to detail, and the thrill of assembling and displaying this legendary tank from World War II.
