The Dragon 7305 M4A2 Tarawa (1/72) model is a high-quality plastic assembly kit, designed for demanding modelers who value historical accuracy and precision craftsmanship. The model depicts the medium tank M4A2 Sherman in the variant used during the legendary Battle of Tarawa, which took place in November 1943 in the Pacific during World War II.

The M4A2 Sherman was one of the main American medium tanks, widely used by both the US Army and the Allies. The M4A2 version (also known as Sherman III in the British Army) was equipped with a diesel engine and strong armor, gaining recognition for its reliability and ease of maintenance on the battlefield. Variants like the Tarawa version played a crucial role in the Pacific island landings, supporting the infantry with fire as they assaulted fortified Japanese positions.
