The M4 Sherman suffered a heavy defeat against German tanks due to its lack of firepower. However, after the Normandy landings, it was equipped with a 76mm gun with improved firepower, which helped close the gap to the German tanks. The British Army introduced the Firefly, equipped with a 17-pounder gun capable of engaging the Tiger I, allowing Allied forces to fight on equal terms in tank battles.

Model kits are available, from these types, which were active in the second half of the war, to tank destroyers based on the M4 Sherman, as well as the M50 and 51, which were modified by Israel after the war.
The model kits are explained in detail, from assembly to weathering, and also introduce the key points for manufacturing parts from each manufacturer.

The actual vehicles are explained, including the Firefly and the M50/51 Super Sherman, as well as illustrated explanations of the clothing and equipment of American tank crews and tank loads.
