The Border Model BT-047 Sherman M4A1 Mid in 1/35 scale is a detailed model kit of the American World War II M4A1 Sherman medium tank in a 'mid production' version. The M4A1 Sherman was one of the most recognizable tanks used by the Allies, distinguished by its rounded hull cast from a single piece of steel, which was unusual compared to other versions.

Features

Scale: 1/35 – allows for precise reproduction of vehicle details, making it suitable both for stand-alone exhibition and for building dioramas depicting battles during World War II.
Sherman M4A1 Mid
- 'Mid Production' Version: The model recreates the vehicle as it was in its mid-production period, which means distinctive features such as a modified turret with commander's periscopes, various types of armor protection, and changes to the cooling system and suspension.
- Hull: The model depicts the M4A1 with a cast, rounded hull, distinguishing this version from other Shermans that had a welded construction. The cast hull gave the vehicle a distinctive look and was easier to mass produce.
- Turret: The turret has been faithfully reproduced, including space for the main armament, periscopes and commander's hatch, which allows the modeler to detail the tank both in combat and at rest.
Details and weapons:
- 75mm Gun: The model features a precisely reproduced 75mm gun, which was the standard armament on the M4A1 Sherman versions. Additionally, the set offers details of the gun mounting system and options for its movable position.
- Machine Guns: The kit also includes Browning M1919 machine gun components and turret and hull mounting options to reflect the typical armament of the tank.
Detailed elements:
- The kit offers many realistic details, such as suspension elements of the VVSS type (Vertical Volute Spring Suspension), running gear, load-bearing wheels, track details, air intakes, tow ropes and additional armor. All this adds to the authenticity of the model.
- Additional Armor Options: The kit may include additional armor pieces (such as sandbags, which were often added by crews for added protection) or other improvised additions.
Decals and Paint Schemes: The kit includes a variety of decals to reproduce historical vehicle markings, such as tactical numbers, Allied symbols and unit markings that the M4A1 Sherman served with. A variety of paint schemes are available, allowing the modeler to recreate versions used on different fronts, such as Normandy, Italy and North Africa.
Dioramas: The Sherman M4A1 Mid is an ideal vehicle for building dioramas, where it can be shown both in offensive operations and during the march through territories occupied by Allied troops. The possibility of combining the model with infantry or other vehicles from the World War II period gives modelers a wide range of possibilities for creating dynamic scenes.
Level of difficulty: Due to the large amount of detail, the kit is suitable for modelers with an intermediate to advanced skill level. Precise reproduction of the elements requires accuracy, especially when assembling the chassis and weapons.
