Dragon's expanding range of superb detailed models made in plastic for maximum detail definition and some metal parts. Finished in authentic camouflage schemes, tracks are one piece rubber giving a good effect and comes in its own plastic display box inside a cardboard outer. Most have rotable turrets and a gun that elevates. Fine detail incudes ropes, shackles and tools carried on the chassis, plus smoke dischargers, machine guns and external petrol tanks appropriate for the model. Best of all these models are pre-painted with sharp, accurate and authentic camouflage and realistic weathering.

Dragon Armor 1/72 M4A4 Sherman Free French Model (60284)
Since the Sherman M4A4 was powered by a Chrysler WC Multibank engine (formed from five
commercial automobile engines aligned on a common driveshaft), the tank required a
lengthened rear hull to accommodate it. A great many M4A4s of the 7,499 produced were
delivered to Allied armies like the British and Free French. Free French Forces had been
established after General De Gaulle and the exiled French government issued a call to arms
on 18 June 1940.
By the time of the Normandy campaign in 1944, Free French Forces numbered 400,000. The Free French 2nd Armoured Division drove south to Paris, while the 1st Army joined in the invasion of southern France. A tank from this latter division is the subject of Dragon Armor s latest release. This 1/72 tank is based on Dragon s highly accurate and brand new M4A4 molds, and offers extremely fine levels of detail. The vehicle is exquisitely painted and weathered, and bears distinctive French insignia and markings. For a Sherman that s a little bit out of the ordinary, this stylish French version is the answer!
