Brand new American Sherman Tank (Moderate Difficulty) Steel Model Kit by Metal Earth. Brand new box. Detailed exterior. Includes 55 parts. Highly detailed model kit. Difficulty level: Moderate. Officially licensed product. Does not have any openings. Assembled dimensions approximately L-2.91, W-1.38, H-1.34 inches. No glue or paint is required, but tweezers or similar tools are recommended. The Sherman Tank was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. The tank was named after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. Production exceeded 50,000 units. Only the Soviet T-34 tank was produced in larger numbers during World War II. Though it was wholly inadequate against the heavier armed 56 ton German Tiger I and the 72 ton Tiger II, mobility, mechanical reliability and sheer numbers helped offset their disadvantages strategically.
