Sherman Mk.II DD Tank (M4A1 Late) - Lowered Screen (Optional Parts - British/US Version)

This model represents the later version of the 75mm M4A1Duplex Drive Tank (with the large hull hatches) with the flotation screens in the lowered position, as they were used operationally, by the Allies during the landings on D-Day.

M7 Priest (Early)

A 105mm SP was planned from early 1941 as soon as the M3 entered production and by February 1942 the M7 "Priest" was standardised with just over 200 built by the end of 1942. The vehicle mirrored the production improvements of the M4, and later vehicles had one-piece differential housings and late suspension. In late 1943 the M4A3 was used as the hull resulting in the M7B1 - note that this version has the "Deep" pulpit style but early suspension pattern. The British version is also available.
