Historical background of the model

The M4A3E2 Sherman "Jumbo" is a unique version of the famous American M4 Sherman medium tank. It was designed as infantry support and for breaking through heavily fortified positions during the Normandy campaign. The Sherman "Jumbo" featured reinforced, thicker armor and a heavier turret, which increased its resistance to German anti-tank guns. Although only about 254 examples of this version were built, the "Jumbo" proved its worth in battles such as the fighting for Saint-Lô or the breakthrough at Saint-Fromond, where it was used as an assault tank during World War II.
