Product link on the I Love Kit website

The designation M4A1 was applied to the M4 medium series to use a one-piece cast hull with a distinctive round shape. The upgunned M4A1, to mount a 76mm M1 high-velocity gun and a T23 turret, was different from the early M4A1 hulls, as the hull front now sported two large hatches for the driver and the co-driver. The tank also had wet storage protection for the ammunition, hence the designation with the “W.” 

Marking choices included in this kit

Decals that come in the box

At first these tanks were not welcomed by the troops, but they were used with success in Operation Cobra following the D-Day invasion. The very early M4A1(76)W had some minor differences from the later standard type. The kit can be built to depict these early machines.
