Italeri 1/35 M4A1 Sherman with U.S. Infantry - Scale Armour Replica

The M4A1 Sherman became a mainstay of US armoured formations in World War II, known for its cast hull contours and turret shape. Debuting in 1942, the design emphasised production efficiency and dependability. This Italeri 1/35 kit recreates the M4A1 with fidelity aimed at hobbyists and history fans.

Design Features and Battlefield Role

Originally fitted with a 75 mm gun, later Sherman variants received higher velocity 76 mm armament. The Continental R975 petrol engine provided the drive, and the vehicle's service record reflects a balance of mobility and practicality in mass deployment.

Kit Highlights and Assembly Experience

The Italeri set includes 10 U.S. infantry figures and glueable rubber tracks to complete the suspension. Also included are super decals for three marking options and a colour instruction sheet to assist with painting and accurate marking placement.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: 10 figures, glueable rubber tracks
  • Decals: Super decals for 3 versions
  • Instructions: Color instruction sheet included

Is Italeri 6568 suitable for diorama work?

Yes, the included infantry and decal options make this kit a good choice for small dioramas representing mid war US armoured units.

How are the decals and do they conform well?

The kit supplies super decals designed for clear markings. Use decal softening agents and careful application to achieve a painted-on look over model contours.

Can I modify the kit for other Sherman variants?

Convertions are possible with aftermarket parts or scratch building if you wish to represent other Sherman marks, but the kit as supplied represents the M4A1 configuration.
