PKTAK02205 Takom US Army M4A1(76w) Sherman HVSS Medium Tank

The M4A1(76)W HVSS was a late-war variant of the U.S. Sherman medium tank, combining several key upgrades to improve firepower, survivability, and mobility. • M4A1: Cast hull design, giving it a rounded appearance. • 76mm gun: Replaced the earlier 75mm, offering better anti-tank performance. • "W": Denotes wet stowage of ammunition, reducing fire risk from hits. • HVSS (Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension): A wider-track suspension system that improved ride quality and allowed better weight distribution, increasing cross-country performance. Entering service in late 1944, this variant saw action in Europe and continued to serve in various forms well into the post-war era with allied and NATO-aligned forces. Hatches can be fitted open or closed. Moveable suspension and road wheels, workable tracks. Figure included. Metal barrel and photo-etch parts included. Choice of 4 markings 1:35 scale plastic model kit from Takom, requires paint and glue.
