Italeri 0225 M4-A1 Sherman (1/35) – Plastic model kit

The Italeri 0225 M4-A1 Sherman model in the popular 1/35 scale is a faithfully reproduced replica of one of the most recognizable tanks of World War II. This set belongs to the category of plastic model kits and is manufactured by the renowned Italian company Italeri – a leader in the modeling market, known for its attention to detail and high-quality plastics.

The M4-A1 Sherman is an American medium tank used primarily by the United States and their allied partners such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and the USSR (under the Lend-Lease program). The tank entered service in January 1944 and was widely used during World War II, from the Normandy landings, through battles on the Western and Southern fronts, to final operations in Europe.

The model is based on a later variant of the M4 Sherman, which featured a one-piece 76mm turret and improved armor. Thanks to this new armament, the Sherman could more effectively compete with German tanks. In reality, however, crews often enhanced the armor with additional elements, such as sandbags, track pieces, or steel plates.
