Airfix 1/76 LCM3 & Sherman Tank Plastic Model Kit

The Landing Craft Mechanised (LCM) Mk.III was the most widely used of the LCMs during World War II, with more than 8,600 being built in yards in the USA. They were employed by both the US Navy and the Royal Navy. The LCM Mk.III was extensively used in operations in the European and Pacific theatres from 1942, with many hundreds taking part in the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944. The Sherman M4A2 Tank was the best-known of all American medium tanks. The Sherman was designed in 1941 as an improvement on the earlier M3 Lee and Grant series: after initial production in 1942, large numbers of Shermans were issued to the British Army, and the type became the standard Allied medium tank.

History

The Landing Craft Mechanised (LCM) Mk.III was the most extensively used LCM during the Second World War, with over 8,600 constructed in American shipyards. Utilised by both the US Navy and the Royal Navy, the LCM Mk.III played a significant role in operations across the European and Pacific fronts starting in 1942, with numerous units participating in the "D-Day" landings in Normandy in June 1944.

The Sherman M4A2 Tank, the most recognised of American medium tanks, was developed in 1941 as an enhancement of the earlier M3 Lee and Grant models. Following initial production in 1942, a substantial number of Shermans were distributed to the British Army, establishing it as the standard medium tank for Allied forces. The LCM3 & Sherman combination was heavily relied upon during the war, serving a pivotal role in amphibious operations throughout World War II.
