1:72 Heller 79894 M4A2 Sherman Division Leclerc – French Medium Tank Plastic Model kit

The 1:72 Heller 79894 M4A2 Sherman Division Leclerc is a plastic model kit of a French medium tank with a strong connection to the Allied liberation of Europe. This version combines the fame of the M4 Sherman with the impressive history of Division Leclerc, the French armoured division that followed its combat route from North Africa through Normandy, Paris and Germany.

The M4 Sherman was one of the most important tanks of the Second World War. The industrial strength of the United States played a major role in the Allied victory of 1945, and the Sherman formed the backbone of the Allied armoured forces. The M4A2 version stood out with welded armour and a General Motors 6460 engine, which was less prone to fire than earlier versions.

Division Leclerc, officially the 2e Division Blindee, was formed in August 1943 and consisted of Free French soldiers of General de Gaulle. Under the command of General Philippe Marie Leclerc, the division was trained and equipped by the Americans before entering combat in Normandy in 1944. For modellers interested in French liberation history, Allied tanks and 1:72 armour modelling, this is a particularly meaningful subject.
