Zvezda US Medium Tank "SHERMAN" (1:35) (277 Piece)

At the end of World War II, new tanks with strong armor, Tiger and Panther, appeared in German tank units. To fight them, it was necessary to arm the American Sherman tanks with a stronger cannon instead of the former 75mm cannon. The result was an M4A3 (76) W with a 76 mm cannon. Another attraction was the special "wet" ammunition. In such tanks, water was mixed with the antifreeze mixture and the corrosion inhibitor in the spaces between the shells in the containers. The risk of detonation in the event of an enemy intervention or fire was therefore much lower. Production of the M4A3 (76) W variant lasted from March to December 1944, during which time 1925 such tanks were built.
