Italeri 1/35 M4A1 Sherman with U.S. Infantry - Scale Model Overview

Throughout World War II the M4A1 Sherman served as a core component of US armoured units, notable for its cast upper hull and rounded turret profile. First produced in 1942, the Sherman combined straightforward construction with dependable battlefield performance. This Italeri 1/35 kit aims to reflect those historical traits for modellers.

Technical Notes and Historical Context

The M4A1 was initially armed with a 75 mm main gun while later versions were outfitted with a faster 76 mm gun. Powered by a Continental R975 radial petrol engine, the Sherman offered a practical mix of mobility and serviceability important in mass production and frontline use.

Contents and What to Expect During Assembly

The kit contains 10 U.S. infantry figures and glueable rubber tracks to simulate the running gear. Also included are super decals covering three alternate markings and a colour instruction sheet to guide builders through paint choices and decal placement.
