Guide to the Trumpeter 07222 M4A1 (76) W Model

The Trumpeter 07222 M4A1 (76) W Medium Tank kit reproduces the Sherman M4A1 in 1:72 scale with an emphasis on correct lines and manageable part counts. It is a good pick for collectors who want accurate small-scale armour models.

Historic Context and Modelling Interest

The upgrade to a 76mm gun on the M4A1 improved engagement capabilities in later WWII theatres, and this kit reflects those upgrades so modellers can present historically plausible vehicles. Its scale keeps the model display-friendly while maintaining surface detail for weathering techniques.

Building Experience and Display Value

The kit includes 93 injection-moulded parts and represents a moderate assembly project, best approached with steady gluing and careful painting. The completed model measures about 98.9mm long, 37.9mm wide and 43.6mm high. There are no metal or resin parts included, but the plastic construction provides a solid base for finishing and display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Length: 98.9mm
  • Width: 37.9mm
  • Height: 43.6mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 93
  • Total Sprues: 6

The kit shows clear panel lines and surface features appropriate for 1:72 scale; fine details may benefit from gentle weathering to increase visual depth.
The supplied US Army decals can be sealed with a clear coat before applying washes and pastel weathering to protect them during finishing.
This kit's tracks are fixed-mould parts; modellers can create a static sunk-in or dynamic effect by careful cutting and repositioning, though it requires extra effort.
Paint is recommended to bring out detail and authenticity; a base colour, followed by washes and highlights, will make the small-scale features pop.
Keep the finished model on a dust-free shelf or in a cabinet away from direct sunlight; a simple base or plaque helps protect fragile details and makes it easier to handle.
