This set depicts the American medium tank M4A3 Sherman in one of its most advanced armed versions – featuring a 76 mm gun and “wet ammunition storage” (WET) system, which significantly increased crew safety by placing the charges in water-filled containers, minimizing the risk of explosion in case of a hit.

The Italeri model perfectly captures the characteristic features of the M4A3 “WET” Sherman: the massive turret with the 76 mm M1A1 gun, the special ammunition protection system, and detailing such as the ventilation grill, hatches, and the VVSS suspension arrangement. Assembly of the model does not require expert experience, but it is recommended for intermediate modelers (level 3/5) who already have basic skills working with plastic kits and segmented elements.

The Sherman M4A3 served in American armored units from mid-1944, actively participating in the Normandy landings (D-Day), the Battle of Falaise, and the counteroffensive in the Ardennes, among others. The version with the 76 mm gun was a response to the increased threat from German guns – the Italeri model presents this historical vehicle in the most accurate form for collectors and military enthusiasts.

The Italeri 96440 M4A3 76mm WET SHERMAN kit comes highly recommended for all military modeling and World War II history enthusiasts. It is an excellent base for dioramas depicting the realities of the 1944–1945 campaigns, and will also meet the expectations of those completing a collection of American tanks.
