The
Sherman tank was by numbers the most well known American tank in Europe
and the Pacific during WWII. It served in numbers of 50.000 as an
excellent cover for many GI and made a great target to any Tiger tank!
It
was the backbone of US defense in Europe and the Pacific to and it
ruled by numbers. It was used by all Allies as well and therefore know
in many versions and special specifications. This version is the M4A3
75(W). 75(W) stands for its 75mm long barrel M3 canon, which was used as main weapon. This made it an dangerous opponent even for heavy German tanks, sometimes.
After
having release the Panzer II last year, Dragon offers now an even
bigger model tank with this Sherman, expanding the scales of size again
a bit more.
Bilding such a model solemly is a challange and needs
space and a professional paintshop, too. So buying this preassembled
and painted model will be the more economic way of getting hold on it.
Converting
it into a rc-model will not be a good idea, due to the fact that all
wheels and tracks are made from plastic and will not take the heavy
stress of real driving. Also the many small details live in great
danger then. As a display model this block will consume almost a
squaremeter of space in your room and you should carefully think about
getting it beforehand.
The
shipping box is even bigger than the model. At the moment we don't have
the exact measures and weight, but by knowing the Panzer II box we
assume it will be hard at the limits of shipping it by mail!
It
is possible to be an extra large mail item with extra postage to pay
for. Therefore we will let you know the exact postage after ordering as
soon as possible, depending on the location you live.
