1:72 Heller 56892 M4 Sherman D-Day – American Medium Tank – Starter Kit Plastic Model kit

The 1:72 Heller 56892 M4 Sherman D-Day Starter Kit is a complete plastic model kit of the famous American medium tank that played a key role in the Allied advance during the Second World War. This Starter Kit includes cement, a brush and main paints, so you can start building and painting right away.

The M4 Sherman was first deployed in Italy in 1943 and became the standard Allied tank. It was used on all fronts until the end of the war and played a crucial role in the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944 and the following Battle of Normandy. For modellers interested in D-Day, Operation Overlord and Allied armoured vehicles, this is a recognisable and historically powerful subject.

Operation Overlord was the major Allied air and sea landing in Normandy, beginning on 6 June 1944 and officially ending on 30 August 1944. With huge numbers of troops, more than 4,000 ships and over 10,000 aircraft, it went down in history as the largest landing operation ever. The Sherman is inseparable from that story: from the beaches to the breakout in Normandy and the liberation of large parts of France.
