One of the best recognizable tanks of all time is Sherman. He was designed to fight German tanks Panzer III and IV. Its main armament is a short-barrel 75 mm caliber cannon, designed for firing armor-piercing ammunition and high explosive shells. On the other hand, very innovative was the front armor of the tank. It was produced since 1943, Sherman quickly became the primary tank of the Allies forces. In his original role the tank was doing very well, but when he has to fight with modern German tanks, his armament and armor turned out to be not sufficient. The roadside has also turned out to be a height that negatively affects its stability. The problem also turned out to be a gasoline engine that had relatively low power as for tank, and also it easily catch fire after hit. All of these construction errors have been successively fixed in other Sherman versions.

In the box, there are: 2 hull elements, 6 frames with plastic parts, rubber tracks and decals (allow reconstruction of vehicles from the 756th Tank Battalion 5th Army or 2nd Armored Division).
