It began to replace other Sherman types in US Army service in 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late 1943, the M4A3 underwent a major overhaul as part of a program to improve the Sherman design and rationalise production. The main improvements were a revised hull with larger hatches, redesigned ammunition stowage to reduce the likelihood of the tank burning when penetrated, and a simplified glacis angled at 47 degrees. In addition to the standard 75mm gun-armed version, a version armed with a 76mm gun was also built. Designated M4A3(76mm)W (“W” = wet stowage), this utilised a larger turret originally intended for the aborted T23 medium tank. The M1A1 76mm gun was rushed into service in July 1944 because the 75mm gun was found to be inadequate against the latest German tanks, but its anti-tank performance proved to be mediocre (at least until an HVAP projectile became available in 1945).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M4A3(76mm)W began to enter service in September 1944. 1,400 were built. Early production vehicles had a round loader’s hatch and (due to production delays) lacked a muzzle brake. Later vehicles had an oval loader’s hatch and a muzzle brake. The harsh weather conditions in late 1944 revealed the shortcomings of the Sherman’s narrow (16.5 inch) tracks, and as a stop-gap solution extended end-connectors (known as “duckbills”) were fitted to improve flotation in muddy terrain. In the meantime, a horizontal volute suspension system (HVSS) with wider (23 inch) tracks had been developed, with greatly enhanced cross-country performance. Usually known as the M4A3E8 (although this was not its official designation), 3,142 of this final version of the Sherman were built. It first entered service during the Ardennes Offensive in December 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile rugged and dependable, the M4A3E8 was too thinly armoured, and many crews attempted to improve its survivability by adding sandbags or scavenged armour plate. Despite its shortcomings, the M4A3E8 remained in US Army service through the Korean War, where it faced the Soviet-built T-34\/85. Many soldiered on with other armies (notably Israel’s) until the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis kit contains the parts to build either an early or late version of the M4A3(76mm)W, or an M4A3E8 with HVSS suspension.

While the “Blitz Buggy” did satisfy these requirements, Bantam was not able to deliver with the fiscal strength or production capability needed to win the contract with the War Department.

The Willys Quad by Willys Overland, the Ford Pygmy by Ford and the BRC60 by Bantam were accepted and orders were given for 1,500 units per company. During these pre-production runs, each vehicle was re-named. The Willys Quad became the “MA”, the Ford Pygmy became the “GP”, and the “BRC60” became the “BRC40”. By July of 1941, the War Department, needing standardization, selected Willys-Overland to fulfill its contract, on account of the MA’s powerful engine, silhouette, low bid, and because of the company’s ability to fulfill production needs, ordering another 16,000 vehicles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbsorbing some of the design features of the Bantam and Ford entries, the Willys “MA” was then renamed the Willys “MB”, and featured the powerful “Go Devil” engine and a welded flat iron “slat” radiator grille (which was later replaced by a stamped grille in March 1942). By October 1941, due to an increased demand for production, Ford was contracted to assist Willys-Overland and changed their model’s name from “GP” to “GPW”, with the “W” referring to the “Willys” licensed design. During WW2, Ford produced some 280,000 of these vehicles.

Developed by Donald Roebling in 1935, the Alligator was intended to operate in swampy areas, inaccessible to both traditional cars and boats.  Two years later, Roebling built a redesigned vehicle with improved water speed.  The US Marine Corps, which had been developing amphibious warfare doctrine based on the ideas of Lt.  Col Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis and others, became interested in the machine after learning about it through an article in Life magazine and convinced Roebling to design a more seaworthy model for military use.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRoebling completed a militarized prototype by May 1940 and later replaced it with a more powerful engine; the USMC tested the design in November 1940.  Impressed by the prototype, 100 units were built using all-steel construction, for a more rugged and easily produced design, and the first LVT-1 was delivered in July 1941.  Another 200 units were ordered even before the first production units were delivered.  After more improvements to meet requirements of the Navy, the vehicle was adopted as “Landing Vehicle Tracked” or LVT.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe LVT-1 could carry 18 fully equipped men or 4,500 pounds (2,041 kg) of cargo.  Originally intended to carry replenishment from ships to shore, they lacked armour protection and their tracks and suspension were unreliable when used on hard terrain.  However, the Marines soon recognized the potential of the LVT as an assault vehicle.  A battalion of LVTs was ready for the 1st Marine Division by 16 February 1942.  LVTs saw their first operational use in Guadalcanal, where they were used exclusively for landing supplies.  About 128 LVTs were available for the landings.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe LVT-2 Water Buffalo (British designation Buffalo II) was an improved LVT-1.

Capacity went from 17 troops in the LVT-2 to 30, making earlier LVTs largely obsolete.  This innovation also greatly facilitated the loading and unloading of cargo.

It was mechanically reliable and obtained the nickname \"Honey\" due to its smooth ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring 1942, the British Army decided to keep their Stuarts away from tank-versus-tank combat and instead use them for reconnaissance. A number of Stuart variations arose, including the Stuart Recce, the Stuart Kangaroo and the Stuart Command. Making a conversion of these is easy with the new plastic Stuart. The Recce had the turret removed in order to achieve an improved speed and range, while the Kangaroo had been converted into an armoured personnel carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3 proved itself as an effective armoured vehicle in jungle environments, where the Japanese infantrymen found themselves under-equipped and lacking anti-tank weaponry. This left them with only one option, which was to rely on close assault tactics. The Stuart was an impressive counter to this, and in this setting was barely any more vulnerable than a medium tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrincipal service: 1940–43.
