The latest MENG Sherman series product, TS-045 U.S. Assault Tank M4A3E2 Jumbo kit completely replicates the special “Jumbo” Sherman exterior details.
The new German tanks were the headache of ordinary Sherman tanks. The mass production of the M26 Pershing was still some time away. The M4A3E2, a special Sherman variant nicknamed “Jumbo” was thus born. It received much thicker chassis and turret armour on the basis of M4A3. It could withstand the shot of large calibre German tank guns and anti-tank guns. Later, it was refitted the 76mm main gun and had better anti-armour capability.
In the end of December, 1944, a “Jumbo” tank of the 4th Armoured Division under the command of Patton led a unit of U.S. soldiers to break the German Siege of Bastogne and joined forces with the 101st Airborne Division. This operation reversed the situation of the Battle of the Bulge.
This new kit features the entirely different front and side hull armor, and brand-new turret and mantlet profile have been properly represented as well.
