The Allied Liberation of Europe began on the June 6th, 1944, on the beaches of Normandy, and lasted until Germany's surrender on May 9th, 1945. The Sherman tanks of the U.S. Army began their steady advance into the European mainland, wrenching Europe piece-by-piece from the clutches of Germany. However, the massive tanks of the Wehrmacht such as Tiger and Panther would prove overpowering against the agile, yet considerably smaller Shermans. One of the major factors that allowed the Allies' advance to continue despite this disparity in power was the quick recovery and repair of battle damaged tanks. That is where the M26 Armored Tank Recovery Vehicles and their brave crews came in. The M26 first saw action on the Italian Front of 1943, and was later extensively used in the inland advancement of the Allies following the Invasion at Normandy. In all kinds of weather, in the middle of the night, or under a barrage of enemy fire, the repair crews continually fulfilled their duty to recover and repair damaged tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamiya is proud to release the M26 Armored Tank Recovery Vehicle as a 1\/35 scale assembly model kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 225mm, overall width: 106mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighty feel of full sized vehicle very apparent in 1\/35 model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide molding techniques used to recreated the cabin as one highly detailed piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindow armor can be modeled in the open or closed position.
