Tamiya 35323 M51 Super Sherman 1/35

The Tamiya 35323 M51 Super Sherman model in 1:35 scale is a faithful miniature of the legendary Israeli tank, which became a key component of armored forces during the Middle Eastern conflicts. This plastic model kit offers an extremely precise reproduction of the vehicle, which is an upgraded version of the famous M4 Sherman, modernized by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the late 1960s and 1970s.

The M51 Super Sherman was equipped with a distinctive long-barreled 105 mm French-made cannon, new optical systems, and improved armor—developments that enabled the Israelis to successfully counter modern Soviet-designed tanks operated by Arab countries. These vehicles played a significant role in the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973), demonstrating the effectiveness of the modifications as well as the courage of Israeli crews.
