This set includes 6 superbly detailed 12mm/1:144 M4A1 Shermans (early and late versions) and a decal sheet.
Over 6,000 of the early version was produced from 1942 to December 1943. This was a cast hull and equipped with a 75mm main gun. It was used widely by the British at the second battle of El Alamein in 1942 and the US in Tunisia during the Torch landings and on into the Italian campaign.
Over 3,000 of the later version was produced from 1943 up to March 1945. This later variant was up gunned to the more effective 76mm main gun and often had extra armour plates welded to the sides covering the driver and co-driver positions
I'm a huge fan of all that is Victrix. The M41A are accurate, well designed, easy to build models. They paint up nicely. Perfect for collecting, display and wargaming. I'll buy all their newest additions to their 1:144 WW2 range.
The detail and extras included were fantastic. Can hardly wait to see what else will be coming in this series of miniatures.
A great set of Shermans M4A1s, brilliant detail, easy to assemble and look fantastic when painted
The new Shermans look good on the blister cover and feature a lot of extra spare tracks, wheels and other equipment. Unfortunately the hull isn't correct;
It is a wide hatch M4a1 hull, but almost all 75mm M4a1 were small hatches ones. The few large hatch 75mm M4a1 were DD tanks (but these aren't DD ones -no rear propeller, no base for the canvas). You may find photos of cast front hull large-hatch 75mm tanks but these are actually composite ones (cast front, and welded M4 hull).
Almost all large hatch were 76mm M4a1, but these were wet-stowage ones, without the added armour patches on hull sides. So, you can get a correct M4a1 76mm tank sanding off the armor patches, but it's quite difficult correct the wrong shape of hull hatches for 75mm tanks.
