This 1:72 scale model is made from sturdy die-cast metal and painted with the drab green-and-brown camouflage scheme used by the Wehrmacht in Normandy following D-Day. It's approximately 3.5 inches long, with a 2-inch barrel that mimicks the real-life 88mm gun responsible for countless burned-out Shermans. German steel indeed!

This 1:72 scale model captures spirit of this plucky, adaptive tank. Painted in historically accurate olive-drab greenish brown, this model is about 3 inches long and has a realistic wire radio antenna and a carefully-weathered exterior, giving it a battle-tested appearance. It’s the finest war machine in Uncle Sam’s army! <a href="http://riflesready.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/cool-stuff-m4a1-sherman-miniature/">Check out my review</a> on <b>Rifles Ready!</b><br /><br /><ul><li>Turrent rotates</li><li>Cannon elevates</li><li>Moving vinyl treads with realistic texture</li><li>Includes 4 U.S. soldiers and 4 German soldiers</li><li>Includes sandbags, tank traps and other terrain elements for use in dioramas</li></ul><p><strong>Price:</strong> $25 <em>(includes free shipping within U.S.)</em><br /></p><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" name="cmd"> <input type="image" alt="Buy this item using PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay online!" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit"> <img height="1" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" border="0" /> <input type="hidden" value="-----BEGIN PKCS7-----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-----END PKCS7----- " name="encrypted"><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NmI9iNrpjvo/SGmMwSWdZgI/AAAAAAAAAag/Uc6qfPwTJ0g/s1600-h/Sherman_detail_blogger.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217856404473079298" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_NmI9iNrpjvo/SGmMwSWdZgI/AAAAAAAAAag/Uc6qfPwTJ0g/s320/Sherman_detail_blogger.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><b>ADDITIONAL DETAILS:</b> You can click this image to greatly enlarge it.

The steel construction gives it considerable heft and the metal has been appropriately weathered to look pitted and battle-worthy.</form><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7553579193899225952-3313937442185880199?l=riflesreadystore.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Grant Huang, editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14048336433241968347noreply@blogger.com0
