The Panzer Art RE35-578 T1 “Rhino device” for US tanks pattern 4 in 1/35 scale is a high-quality model enhancement accessory designed for American tank models from World War II. Manufactured by the renowned Panzer Art company, it faithfully replicates the historical T1 "Rhino" device, which was mounted on selected armored vehicles of the United States.

The T1 "Rhino" was a specialized device created as a practical solution to problems encountered during the Normandy campaign in 1944. It consisted of a set of blades attached to the front parts of M4 Sherman tanks, designed to cut and break through Normandy’s bocage hedgerows that hindered the movement of Allied vehicles across French fields. Thanks to the "Rhino," Allied forces gained a significant tactical advantage by being able to breach terrain fortifications behind which enemy forces often hid. The Pattern 4 variant featured a specific blade arrangement, used especially from July 1944 until the end of the campaign in France and northern Germany.
