Meng Model TS-045 M4A3E2 Jumbo 1/35 – Plastic Tank Model Kit

Meng Model TS-045 M4A3E2 Jumbo in 1/35 scale is a top-quality plastic model kit representing the legendary American assault tank from World War II. This model recreates a special variant of the famous Sherman, which was developed in response to the threat posed by advanced German tanks such as the Tiger and Panther, both of which far outclassed standard Shermans in armor and firepower.

M4A3E2 "Jumbo" was produced for the United States Army during the 1944–1945 campaign. It was distinguished by an exceptionally thick hull armor and a new, reinforced turret. This made it resistant to fire from 88 mm guns and other powerful German anti-tank guns. The Jumbo was widely used especially during the Battle of the Bulge, where M4A3E2 tanks, including vehicles commanded by General Patton’s division, contributed to breaking the German encirclement at Bastogne and supporting the 101st Airborne Division.
