Rye Field Model 3031 M4 Sherman T-48 Type w/ Duckbill Extension 3D Print 1/35

The Rye Field Model 3031 M4 Sherman T-48 Type w/ Duckbill Extension 3D Print 1/35 set is a top-quality modeling accessory intended for armored vehicles from World War II. The set of movable track links in 1/35 scale has been specifically designed for models of the famous M4 Sherman tank and its numerous variants (M4A1, M4A2, M4A3, M4 Composite) used by the United States, as well as the British and Soviet armies (supplied under Lend-Lease).

T48 type tracks with rubber pads and the popular “duckbill” extensions were extensively used between 1943 and 1945, during operations on the Western Front (including the Battle of Normandy, the Ardennes, and the offensive into Germany), as well as in harsh winter and muddy conditions—such as in Italy or during fighting in Eastern Europe. The addition of “duckbills” increased the bearing surface and prevented the tank from sinking into soft ground, which was crucial for the effectiveness of Sherman tanks in varied tactical conditions.

• The set contains accurately reproduced, movable T48 type track links (3D-printed), enhanced with duckbill extensions.
• Parts are manufactured from high-quality resin using 3D printing technology, ensuring remarkable detail, realistic replication of rubber and metal textures, and authentic geometry.
• The press-fit technology allows for assembly without glue, retaining full mobility of the finished tracks.
• The set is a perfect fit for Sherman tanks with VVSS suspension and is dedicated to models such as Rye Field Model 5132, 5133, 5135, 5136.
• An excellent choice for winter, muddy, battle scene, or off-road dioramas.
