Eduard TP028 US Headlight Guards (Sherman) 1/35

Eduard TP028 US Headlight Guards (Sherman) is a unique set of photo-etched details designed for 1/35 scale Sherman tank models. This product has been created for modelers who demand a high level of historical accuracy and precision. The set is made from high-quality photo-etched brass, allowing for perfect replication of even the finest protective elements fitted to the headlamps of American M4 Sherman tanks.

Installing photo-etched headlight guards is an important step to enhance the realism of any Sherman model. The M4 Sherman was the main medium tank of the United States Army during World War II and was widely used by the British, Soviet, and Allied forces. The lamp guards were mounted to protect the headlights from mechanical damage on the battlefield. The Sherman itself took part in key World War II campaigns such as the Normandy landings (D-Day), the Battle of the Bulge, and the Pacific theater (1942–1945).

• Scale: 1/35 – dedicated to popular plastic M4 Sherman kits of various manufacturers.

The Eduard TP028 set is an ideal choice for intermediate and advanced modelers interested in World War II armored vehicles. Photo-etched parts require basic skills with metal elements and precise cutting and bending – we rate the product’s difficulty level as 3/5. With Eduard TP028, you can significantly enhance the realism of your Sherman tank model, creating an authentic appearance of the headlights in accordance with historical standards.

I recommend this set to anyone who wants their model to be a faithful miniature representation of the legendary Sherman – both as a collector’s piece on the shelf and as a competition entry.
