Description
The Tamiya M4A1 Sherman Tank Plastic Model Kit is a 1/48 scale military miniature assembly kit that accurately recreates the American M4A1 Sherman tank’s rounded upper hull. Created by Tamiya, this detailed model offers engaging parts for hobbyists who enjoy building, painting, and finishing historically styled military miniatures. Once completed, the model measures approximately 119 mm in overall length.
The kit includes several assembly configurations, such as early and late sprockets, press-type and spoke-type rollers, two primary gun shields, square and cylindrical air cleaners, and extra armor plates used on later variants. A sturdy die-cast chassis and connected straight caterpillar parts help support accurate lower-body construction. Three marking choices are supplied, including Italian and French front markings.
