3D model description

This is a model of an M4A1 Large Hatch duplex drive modeled in 1/35th scale and 1/48th scale. Unfortunately the 1/35 version was too large to print on my printer so I scaled it to 48th to test print it. I provide all the individual parts in 1/35 scale and parts with supports in 1/48th scale.

This does include the screen components. The screen requires some modelling skills as the canvas is not modeled, and it is left to the modeller to add. Instructions are provided on how to do so to get a nice result.

With this one and its brother the M4A4 (posted separately) if you would like some small customization let me know. I can model the periscopes open and closed, the tank with and without the air tanks, the tracks with all the suspension components (one piece) and with/without the aft sprocket. As for the turret I can add or remove the loaders hatch and pistol port, and change it from a high to a low bustle.

With this you will get the following:

All the parts needed to build an M4A1 DD (excluding the screen) with the following options:
-With or Without the air system
-Choice of three boagie types (raised arm and flat arm with/without pillow)
-Two wheels (welded and pressed)
-Three drive sprockets (early and late cut and forged)
-Three screen positions
-Swimming: Fully Erect with inflated air bladders
-Just hit the beach: Partially collapsed
-Coming off the beach: Fully collapsed
