The Coldstream Guards has the distinction of being the oldest regiment in the British Army to have been in continuous service. It originated in Coldstream on the Scottish border in 1650 under the leadership of General George Monck. The regiment has an illustrious history, and in WWI it was almost annihilated on a couple of occasions. In WWII the Coldstream Guards fought in North Africa and Europe, including as the 1st Battalion in the Guards Armoured Division. Dragon Armor is offering a 1/72 scale Sherman Mk.V model from this famous regiment.
The model, a Sherman M4A4, makes an ideal companion to Item No. 60307. In fact, this newest item also carries the unique rockets and launcher rails on the turret sides. Naturally, it bears different tactical markings to the other model, allowing modelers to create a diorama with a pair of these “rocket-launcher” tanks. The rockets were transferred from Typhoon fighters, and Shermans equipped with this new weapon system saw combat during the crossing of the Rhine River. This model is painted in a historically accurate bronze green color, and it also shows a restrained level of weathering. The tank is dimensionally accurate, and all details have been fully represented, including the launcher rails and Typhoon rockets ready for immediate firing!
