CONDITION REPORT

• The Model Components: Great, unstarted condition. Every plastic part appears to remain firmly attached to the factory molding gates and gates are untouched, sealed safe inside the original clear factory plastic wrapping bags. The specialized flexible tracks and metal photo-etched accents are completely flat and sealed on their protective card insert.
• Instructions & Decals: The folded assembly instructions sheet is present and cleanly printed. The high-quality slide decal sheet features crisp registration and offers multiple historic marking choices for tanks deployed during the Italian and Sicilian campaigns.
• The Display Box: Good structurally sound vintage condition. There is expected shelf and storage wear, including a small puncture/tear on the lower left-hand edge of the front cover art panel and a small white tear where an old price sticker was removed on the right-hand side panel. It remains sturdy and safely contains the kit. (Please inspect all close-up photographs carefully to satisfy yourself with the exact cosmetic condition before purchasing).

The Sherman Mk.III was the official British military designation for the American-built M4A2 Sherman tank powered by twin diesel engines. Under the Lend-Lease program, Great Britain became the primary operator of this variant, deploying them heavily through North Africa, the invasion of Sicily, the Italian campaign, and across Northwest Europe after D-Day.

Dragon's 1.72 scale "Armor Pro" series is highly sought after by modern hobbyists and wargamers because it packs the extreme slide-molding accuracy and photo-etched details typically reserved for much larger 1.35 scale kits into a compact footprint. Because Dragon often runs limited production batches of specific World War II armor marks, finding an unbuilt, completely complete kit with all parts safely sealed in their original factory plastic layers is a very reliable seller for military armor collectors.
