M51 Super Sherman Brought to Scale

The Tamiya 23679 faithfully reproduces the M51 Super Sherman in 1/16 scale, offering builders a precise and robust model of the Israeli-upgraded Sherman for hands-on modelling and display.

Details of the 105mm Conversion

In the 1960s the real M51 received the French 105mm CN-105-F1 with a shortened barrel and muzzle brake to improve battlefield effectiveness. The Tamiya kit mimics these distinct visual and dimensional changes so modellers can recreate the post-upgrade look accurately.

Performance and Construction Notes

This model combines operational drive and turret features with a solid chassis and detailed turret components, delivering realistic motion and durable construction for regular use on varied surfaces.

Suitability and Comparison

When compared to other 1/16 scale armoured kits, the M51 Super Sherman stands out for its blend of historical detail and functioning mechanics. Builders new to scale armour will find the project engaging, while experienced modellers can invest in further electronics or cosmetic upgrades.
