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.
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.
