Description

[Machine Translation] [The M4 was a medium tank developed by the United States in World War II. The development of the M4 started with the body of the M3 medium tank, which had been mass-produced since 1941, and then equipped with an all-round turret. The prototype was completed in September, and in October, the M4 medium tank was standardized. Production began in February 1942, and the M4A1, with its one-piece cast upper body, was the first to be rolled out. The M4A1 was the first to go into mass production, as it required fewer processes than the M4, which had a welded body. The early version was equipped with a 37.5 caliber 75mm M3 tank gun as the main gun, but from 1943, a more powerful 76.2mm M1 tank gun was installed. The ammunition storage was also improved by adopting a wet type ammunition storage filled with water, and the tanker was active throughout the war. [The M4A1 Sherman with 76.2mm tank gun and VVSS suspension is the first mass-produced type of the M4 Sherman tank series that was mass-produced in WWII. The upper part of the vehicle body is an integrated part just like the actual vehicle, reproducing the rounded shape of the casting type with a lot of realism. The texture of the cast skin is also realistic enough. The turret is also reproduced in its original shape, and the 76.2mm gun barrel and shields are also reproduced with realistic finish. The turret's commander's cupola and the driver's hatch on the body of the vehicle are also delicately detailed for a three-dimensional finish. The engine deck and rear body panels at the rear of the vehicle, as well as the on-board tools, are also sharply detailed. The VVSS type suspension on the lower part of the body is reproduced with only a few parts to give it a full three-dimensional effect. Together with the road wheels and drive sprocket wheels, the kit enhances the degree of completion. This kit includes accessory parts such as logs and backpacks made of DS material. Attach them to the vehicle body, turret sides, etc. to add realism to the vehicle itself. You can freely layout the kit to create the Sherman tanks seen in the documentary photographs of the time, or the vehicles that appeared in scenes from the many movies and TV dramas that were produced. This kit is also a fun way to create scenes. [Main Features] / Scale 1/35 reproduction of the VVSS suspension version of the Sherman M4A1 with 76mm gun / Set of accessory parts made of DS material, such as logs and backpacks, etc., which are also useful for scene production / The upper body of the vehicle is an integrated part just like the real vehicle, with a rounded shape of the casting type.

ドラゴンモデル 1/35 WW.II アメリカ軍 M4A1(76)W VVSS シャーマン

[実車について]第二次世界大戦でアメリカが開発した中戦車がM4です。アメリカのみならず連合軍各国にも供与され、多数が各戦線で活躍したことで大戦中を代表する戦車のひとつとなりました。1941年から量産に入っていたM3中戦車の車体を使用して、そこに全周旋回砲塔を装備する形で開発をスタート。5月にモックアップが、9月には試作車が完成。10月にはM4中戦車として制式化されることになったのです。そして1942年2月には生産がはじまるとその中で最初にロールアウトしたのが上部車体に鋳造の一体式を採用したM4A1でした。溶接車体のM4よりも工程が少ない分量産の立ち上がりが早く、量産一番乗りとなったのです。初期型では主砲に37.5口径75mm戦車砲M3を装備していましたが、1943年からはより強力な76.2mm戦車砲M1を搭載するタイプが登場。弾薬収納庫も水を張った湿式弾薬庫を採用するなど改良が施され、大戦を通して活躍したのです。[モデルについて]第二次大戦で大量に生産されたM4シャーマン戦車シリーズの中で最初に量産されたタイプ、M4A1シャーマンの76.2mm戦車砲搭載VVSSサスペンション仕様を再現。車体上部は実車と同じように一体パーツで鋳造タイプの丸みを持った形状を実感たっぷりに再現。鋳造肌の質感もリアリティ十分です。そこに装備される砲塔も形をしっかりと再現するほか、76.2mm砲の砲身や防盾なども実感あふれる仕上がり。さらに砲塔のコマンダーズキューポラや車体のドライバーズハッチ類などもディテールも繊細に表現した立体的な仕上がりが楽しめます。車体後部のエンジンデッキや車体後部パネル、さらに、車載工具類などもシャープ。車体下部はVVSSタイプのサスペンションを少ないパーツで立体感も十分に再現。ロードホイールやドライブスプロケットホイールなどとともに、完成度を高めます。このキットでは丸太やバックパックなどをDS素材で再現したアクセサリーパーツをセット。車体や砲塔側面などに取り付けて車両本体に実戦のリアリティを加えます。自由にレイアウトして当時の記録写真にみられるシャーマン戦車や数多く制作された映画やテレビドラマのワンシーンに登場する車両を演出する仕上げを楽しんでいただけることでしょう。情景つくりも楽しくなるキットです。[主な特徴]■シャーマンM4A1の76mm砲搭載型VVSSサスペンション仕様を1/35スケールで再現■情景製作にも役立つ丸太やバックパックなどをDS素材で再現したアクセサリーパーツをセット■車体上部は実車と同じように一体パーツで鋳造タイプの丸みを持った形状を実感たっぷりに再現■鋳造肌の質感もリアリティ十分■76.2mm砲の砲身や防盾なども実感あふれる仕上がり■砲塔のコマンダーズキューポラや車体のドライバーズハッチ類などもディテールも繊細に表現■車体下部はVVSSタイプのサスペンションを少ないパーツで立体感も十分に再現※海外商品の為、多少の箱潰れが発生する可能性がございます。箱潰の交換は出来かねます、ご了承ください。※本製品は輸入品のため発売時期が予告なく変更される場合がございますのでご了承ください。
