The first version to be produced, the cast-hull M4A1, was \u003cbr\u003esucceeded by the welded-hull M4, the diesel engine M4A2, and finally the\u003cbr\u003emost widely-known tank of the series, the M4A3. Three types of main \u003cbr\u003earmament were used on the M4A3: on the initial production types, the \u003cbr\u003e75mm main gun and on the subsequent types, the 76mm main gun for \u003cbr\u003eheightened penetration. Finally, to provide heavy fire support for \u003cbr\u003eassaults on enemy outposts, the powerful 105mm howitzer was later \u003cbr\u003eadopted. The 105mm howitzer was carried in a M52 combination mount and a\u003cbr\u003evision cupola was fitted for the commander with a small hatch for the \u003cbr\u003eloader. It could fire M1 shells at angles from -10 to +35 degrees at a \u003cbr\u003emaximum range of 11,500m. About 500 of the M4A3 (105mm) were produced at\u003cbr\u003ethe Chrysler factory in Detroit from May to September 1944. From \u003cbr\u003eSeptember 1944 horizontal volute spring suspension was introduced on the\u003cbr\u003eM4A3 (105mm) together with the wider center-guide T66 tracks. The M4A3 \u003cbr\u003e(105mm) were deployed to European Theatre from July 1944, and played an \u003cbr\u003eindispensable role in the destruction of enemy positions by the U.S. \u003cbr\u003einfantry fighting on the front lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★Plastic assembly model kit of U.S. WWII M4A3 Sherman. ★Overall length: \u003cbr\u003e172mm, width: 76mm. ★The smooth form of the cast turret with 105mm \u003cbr\u003ehowitzer and welded hull of this late production M4A3 tank overflow with\u003cbr\u003erealism. ★Commander's cupolas, loader's hatch and other hull and turret\u003cbr\u003ehatches can be modeled in the open or closed position. ★Two kinds of \u003cbr\u003eroad wheels and sprockets can be selected; rubber padded tracks also \u003cbr\u003eincluded. ★Three infantrymen and one tank commander in realistic poses \u003cbr\u003ebring an air of excitement to the kit. ★Included equipment includes \u003cbr\u003eammunition boxes, tripod, ration boxes, and much more. ★Three types of \u003cbr\u003edecals included.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"height: 183px;\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"popup-image\" href=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35251\/35251_4c1.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35251\/35251_4c1.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 0.8;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAny number of exciting dioramas is made possible with this M4A3 Sherman tank and 3 infantrymen set.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"height: 183px;\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"popup-image\" href=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35251\/35251_4c2.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/d7z22c0gz59ng.cloudfront.net\/japan_contents\/img\/usr\/item\/3\/35251\/35251_4c2.jpg\" style=\"opacity: 0.8;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eInfantrymen figures included in the kit wear late WWII M1943 winter \u003cbr\u003euniforms overflowing with rich detail.
