About product

Heller M4 Sherman 1:72 - plastic tank kit

This is an injection-molded plastic kit of the M4 Sherman medium tank in 1:72 scale from Heller. The subject is the basic M4 version with a gasoline radial engine. The box contains plastic sprues with the parts, a decal sheet for several marking options and instructions. The exact contents and markings depend on the particular boxing.

The real subject

The M4 Sherman was the backbone of American and Allied armor in the Second World War. The basic M4 version was powered by a gasoline radial engine, had a welded hull, a rotating turret with a 75 mm gun and running gear with vertical volute spring suspension. Shermans proved themselves through their reliability, easy production and maintenance, and their service from Normandy through Italy to the Pacific.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the running gear - road wheels, idler wheels and tracks - before you close the hull, because it is harder to reach later. For convincing weathering apply a darker wash into the recesses and details, bring out the edges with drybrushing and dust the underside and the track runs with pigments for mud and dust effects. Liquid cement for plastic, a primer and a matte varnish at the end are recommended; the paint is best applied with an airbrush.

Who the model is for

  • modelers interested in American and Allied vehicles of the Second World War
  • collectors of Shermans in 1:72 scale
  • anyone interested in wash, drybrush and pigment techniques
  • builders of Second World War dioramas

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The basic M4 version was powered by a gasoline radial engine. That sets it apart from the M4A2 version, which used a pair of diesel engines.

Yes, 1:72 scale is popular for dioramas thanks to its compact size. The Sherman combines well with infantry and other vehicles in the same scale.
