Recreate the iconic Allied landings in Normandy with the Lanmo LM35038 1/35 Sherman M4A4 Deep Wading Kit (D‑Day), available now at AFVHobbyHub.com. For Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944, Sherman tanks were specially modified with deep‑wading intake and exhaust trunks, allowing them to drive through shallow water immediately after disembarking from landing craft.
This 1/35 scale detail upgrade kit accurately depicts the D‑Day European Theater deep‑wading configuration specific to the Sherman M4A4 (British Sherman V), which was widely used by British and Commonwealth armored units during the Normandy campaign. Unlike Pacific Theater oil‑drum flotation systems, the D‑Day setup consisted of tall, rigid trunking designed for short‑duration amphibious movement from ship to shore. Lanmo’s finely molded components capture the correct proportions, angles, and structural detail, integrating seamlessly with compatible 1/35 M4A4 Sherman kits.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers, the LM35038 kit is perfectly suited for building Normandy beach assault scenes, British armored unit deployments, and early European Theater dioramas. Combined with landing craft, infantry, beach obstacles, and surf effects, this upgrade transforms a standard Sherman V into a historically accurate D‑Day centerpiece.
