The M51 represents a field upgrade of the M4A1 Sherman and was prominent in 1960s conflicts such as the Six-Day War in 1967. This 1/35 scale Tamiya 35323 kit faithfully portrays the conversion, including the French 105mm CN-105-F1 main armament which led to the fitting of a muzzle brake and turret counterweight. The original vehicle's 460hp diesel engine and enhanced suspension helped it face threats like the T-54/55 and JS-3.
Tamiya models the distinctive cast finish on the turret and upper hull, adds HVSS suspension detail and T80-style tracks, and supplies realistic stowage items like tools and jerry cans for accurate presentation.
