Panzer Art RE35-816 Concrete Armor For M4 'Small Hatch' Hull 1/35

Panzer Art RE35-816 Concrete Armor For M4 'Small Hatch' Hull is a unique resin accessory set designed for models of the legendary American M4 Sherman tank in the so-called Small Hatch version, in the popular 1/35 scale. This kit is created especially for modelers wishing to faithfully recreate improvised field modifications seen on vehicles used on the European fronts of World War II.

The presented concrete armor is a reproduction of authentic protective shields that were installed by American crews and front-line workshops between 1944 and 1945, mainly during the intense fighting in France (including during the Normandy liberation) and in Germany. The purpose of adding such shields was to improve protection against German anti-tank shells and increase crew survivability in challenging combat conditions. Shermans fitted with concrete covers became a characteristic sight during Operation Overlord and the Battle of the Ardennes, among others.
