Tamiya 1:35 M51 Super Sherman

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Israeli medium tank in 1:35 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building the Israeli modification of the American Sherman medium tank - the M51 Isherman from the Cold War period. The vehicle was modified in the 1960s by replacing the main armament with a massive 105 mm cannon and unification of the chassis to the HVSS. The kit also includes 2 crew - commander and load.

The box contains a hull element, 7 frames parts with model parts, rubber tracks and decals (allow the reconstruction of a tank that took part in the six-day war or the war of Yom Kippur).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
