ASUKAMODEL 1/35 Scale US Medium Tank M4 Sherman Late Model FAY Plastic Model 35-032

Product Introduction

The M4 Sherman, a tank built in a welded hull and equipped with an R975 air-cooled aircraft radial engine, was manufactured at four factories. Between 1942 and 1944, approximately 5,072 vehicles were produced, featuring a 75mm turret and a small driver's hatch at the front of the hull. These vehicles served with the U.S. Army in North Africa, Northwest Europe, and the Pacific War. The M4 Sherman underwent numerous improvements over its long production run, resulting in numerous variations. This kit depicts the late-model M4 Sherman, manufactured by Pullman Slander in late 1943. It featured a welded hull with a one-piece differential cover, a thicker turret called cheek armor, and the removal of the additional armor on the right side of the turret. The pistol port was also removed, giving it the nickname "FAY." "FAY" landed at Omaha Beach with the 2nd Panzer Division on June 9, 1944, and participated in the Battle of Normandy.
