Let's Build: USMC M4A2 Sherman From Saipan 1944 (Dragon 1/35)

My friends, USMC tanks from the Pacific Theatre are some of the wildest looking vehicles of WW2. Countless variants of improvised add-on armor and other kinds of protection against the enemy coupled with colorful camouflages and deep wading stacks are the perfect combination for an interesting model!
