United Kingdom, Sherman M4A4 ARV, Armored Recovery Vehicle.

Artitec 387.104. New 1/87, Combat Ready, Finished Model.

The Sherman M4A4 Armored Recovery Vehicle or ARV was a simple British adaptation, simply removing the turret from a Sherman and equipping the vehicle with repair gear. The Sherman ARV was used for towing disabled tanks off the battlefield and it was equipped with a crane in the front, allowing its crew to remove engines from tanks in the field.

 British vehicles serving in Northern and Western Europe in 1944-45 had an Allied white star painted on their sides for

simplified recognition purposes.

 Complete, combat ready, fully assembled, detailed, custom painted and weathered resin model.

PLEASE NOTE: These models are all handmade and painted which makes every one unique. This means the paint patterns may vary a little and the detail parts like sandbags, turret tracks, antennas, etc. may also be arranged differently. This was also the case in real life. These models are very prototypical.
