Tamiya 23679 M51 Super Sherman 1/16 Scale Detail Kit  [23679]

Scale Recreation of the M51 Super Sherman

The Tamiya 23679 brings the M51 Super Sherman to life in 1/16 scale, offering modellers a precise miniature of this upgraded Sherman variant for both display and running use.

The Upgrade That Changed the Sherman

During the 1960s Israeli workshops refitted Shermans with the French CN-105-F1 105mm gun, trimming the barrel and adding a muzzle brake to improve combat potential. The Tamiya version faithfully represents these external modifications so modellers can study and showcase the wartime conversion.

Build Experience and Model Traits

This kit combines full operation mechanics with careful turret and hull detailing, giving realistic motion and a convincing scale presence. Construction quality supports field use while maintaining the fine lines needed for accurate scale appearance.

Best Uses and Audience

For those comparing scale armour kits, the M51 excels in historical accuracy and functional realism. Novice builders with patience will find the build rewarding, while advanced hobbyists can upgrade the electronics and paintwork to competition or display standards.

Tamiya 23679 delivers a strong mix of scale authenticity and operational detail, making it a valued project for collectors and scale RC competitors.
