Wholesale 25136 - M4A3(75) Sherman, 10th Armored Division, 1944-45

It has been argued that the ubiquitous Sherman tank was the best armored fighting vehicle of the war. The Sherman was designed to be easy to maintain. Its standard chassis and universal power plant meant that much of the mechanics were interchangeable with many of the allied armor components. If the road wheels or suspension system were damaged by an anti-tank mine, the crew just unscrewed 16 securing bolts and swapped out the bogie. Its armament was a respectable 75 mm main gun; two .30 caliber machine guns; one .50 caliber machine gun. The Sherman had good speed both on and off-road. In the confined, hilly landscape of Italy, the small, nimble Sherman could often cross terrain that some heavy German tanks could not. But perhaps its greatest strength was its sheer numbers: More than 50,000 Shermans were produced between 1942 and 1945. 1/30 scale Matte Finish 7 piece set: Two removable stowage sets, 50 Cal.
