231: M4A2 Sherman Tank

Type 97 Shinhoto

BRICKMANIA 231

M4A2 Sherman: US Marines Edition

Designer: Daniel Siskind
Piece Count: 819
BrickArms: M1 Pot Helmets & SideArms
Minifigs: 3
Skill Level: Intermediate (3 of 5)

The Sherman tank was the most widely American tank of World War II and therefore the number one most requested Brickmania kit. This M4A2 is the "classic" Sherman configuration with a welded hull, original M4 small "bustle down" turret and 75mm main gun. The M4A2 also has the distinction of being the only deisel engined Sherman, produced mainly for export, but also favored by the US Marines for its reliability.

This kit was specifically modeled after the vehicles of the 3rd Tank Battalion on Iwo Jima and therefore comes with USMC crew and decals. With a few modifications this kit can also be transformed into the M4A3's used by the 4th and 5th Tank Battalions on Iwo Jima. It is also the same configuration as many of the Allied tanks that landed at Normandy on D-Day.

Another new custom kit designed featuring one of the main Japanese tanks of World War II: The Type 97 Chi-Ha.

While large tank vs. tank battles were not commonplace in the Pacific Theater, Type 97s were present at most of the major campaigns (Malay, Singapore, Philippines) and the defense of many islands in the south and central Pacific.
