Recreate the dramatic amphibious landings of 6 June 1944 with the Lanmo LM35036 1/35 Sherman M4/M4A1 Deep Wading Kit (D‑Day), available now at AFVHobbyHub.com. For Operation Overlord, Sherman tanks were fitted with specialized deep‑wading trunks that extended air‑intakes and exhausts, allowing vehicles to disembark from landing craft and traverse shallow water before reaching Normandy’s beaches.
This 1/35 scale detail upgrade set faithfully represents the European Theatre deep‑wading configuration used on Sherman M4 and M4A1 tanks during the Normandy invasion. Unlike Pacific oil‑drum flotation systems, the D‑Day setup featured tall, angular intake and exhaust trunks designed specifically for cross‑Channel operations. Lanmo’s precision‑engineered components capture this distinctive appearance with sharp detail and scale‑accurate proportions, integrating seamlessly with compatible Sherman kits.
Designed for intermediate to advanced modelers, LM35036 is ideal for building Normandy amphibious assault scenes, beachhead dioramas, and early‑invasion European Theater displays. Combined with landing craft, infantry, obstacles, and surf effects, this kit transforms a standard Sherman into an iconic D‑Day vehicle.
