United States, United Kingdom, Sherman M4A4 ARV, Armored Recovery Vehicle.

Artitec 87.120. New 1/87, Kit, Unfinished Model.

The Sherman M4A4 Armored Recovery Vehicle or ARV was a simple British adaptation, simply removing the turret from a Sherman and equipping the vehicle with repair gear. The Sherman ARV was used for towing disabled tanks off the battlefield and it was equipped with a crane in the front, allowing its crew to remove engines from tanks in the field.

 British vehicles serving in Northern and Western Europe in 1944-45 had an Allied white star painted on their sides for simplified recognition purposes.
