Sherman M4A3R3 Zippo

This model comes in four part; hull, turret & tracks.

The M4A3 version of the Sherman (also known as Sherman Mk.IV by the British) was produced from June 1942, however, the Zippo depicted in this model came about as a result of a need by the United States Marine Corps to be able to deal with Japanese bunkers and fortifications with a flamethrower tank and came into service in 1944. It saw action at Iwo Jima.

The Zippo was named after the American cigarette lighter.
