M4A2 Sherman (US045)

The M4 Sherman was the most numerous battle tank used by the United States and some of the other Western Allies in World War II. Of the many Sherman variants, the M4A2 was one of the few with a diesel engine. Most of the approximately 8,000 M4A2 tanks produced were employed by the United States' allies. However, the Marine Corps did field them in the Pacific, when the smaller M2 light tank proved to be inadequate.

With a larger 75mm gun, the M4A2 was not only able to destroy Japanese tanks with ease, it was also useful for destroying bunkers and other field fortifications in support of the Marine riflemen. With a wide range of upgrades such as waterproofing for amphibious operations and the addition of extra armor to protect against suicide attacks, the Marine Shermans were as distinctive as they were useful.

Includes one resin M4A2 Sherman tank, with plastic tracks, gun and hatches, and metal tank commander and optional Improvised Tank Assault Armor.
