With 159 parts and a short length of about 12 cm, this M4 is a friendly kit for a first tank in 1:48. It shows the welded-hull M4 with the Continental Whirlwind radial engine. Hobby Boss gives you open-spoke road wheels, appliqué armour plates and two gun mounts to choose from, the early M34 and the M34A1. A small photo-etched sheet is included, and the markings are for a US Army tank.
