The purpose of adding such shields was to improve protection against German anti-tank shells and increase crew survivability in challenging combat conditions. Shermans fitted with concrete covers became a characteristic sight during Operation Overlord and the Battle of the Ardennes, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II (1944-1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-quality resin — superbly representing the texture and details of concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e resin modeling accessory for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e the kit does not include metal parts; all components are precisely made using resin casting technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eExcellent fit and a high level of detail make this accessory perfectly suited both to builders of detailed dioramas and modelers looking to customize their armored vehicle collections from World War II.
