Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, the newly formed Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) selected the M4 Sherman as their first mainstay tank. By the mid-1950s, the IDF had acquired a large number of M4A1 Shermans fitted with the powerful 76.2mm M1 gun to counter the T-34-85 tanks fielded by neighboring Arab armies. These upgraded vehicles were designated M1 Super Shermans to distinguish them from earlier 75mm-armed variants. Featuring curved cast hulls, air-cooled radial gasoline engines, and Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS), the M1 Super Sherman proved both robust and reliable. It first saw combat during the Suez Crisis in October 1956 and continued to serve with the IDF well into the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately captures the tank's distinctive form, including the curved cast hull and 76mm main gun, based on a detailed study of a full-size museum exhibit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepresents a late-type variant featuring the muzzle brake and one-piece loader's hatch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed VVSS suspension and T54E1 tracks enhance realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes commander and loader figures, plus three marking options for versatile display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.0 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35322\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommander and loader figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePaints Required\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase Coat – Lacquer Sprays (choose one scheme)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tamiya-ts-5-olive-drab\"\u003eTamiya TS-5 Olive Drab\u003c\/a\u003e – main base coat for the 1956 Sinai Campaign configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tamiya-ts-46-light-sand\"\u003eTamiya TS-46 Light Sand\u003c\/a\u003e – alternative base coat for the post-1960s sand-coloured IDF scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: TS sprays are available for local pick-up only – we cannot ship aerosols.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetail Painting – Gloss Acrylics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tamiya-acrylic-mini-x-10-gun-metal\"\u003eTamiya X-10 Gun Metal\u003c\/a\u003e – machine guns and metallic mechanical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tamiya-acrylic-mini-x-11-chrome-silver\"\u003eTamiya X-11 Chrome Silver\u003c\/a\u003e – bare metal surfaces, piston rods, and vision blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetail Painting \u0026amp;
