This accessory set features 75 mm M48 high-explosive ammunition and wooden "Lobster" shipping crates used with American M3 and M4 medium tanks during World War II. It is an excellent addition to tank models, interior scenes and dioramas depicting ammunition storage, handling and resupply operations.
The set contains 15 M48 shells, five wooden ammunition crates and five bundle packings. The shells feature detailed projectile and casing shapes, while the crates include moulded markings and stencilled lettering. These accessories can be displayed alongside a vehicle, arranged in a supply area or used to add detail to a tank's fighting compartment.
The 75 mm gun was the main armament of many American medium tanks during the first half of World War II. It was fitted to the M3 Lee and Grant, as well as numerous versions of the M4 Sherman. The gun was effective against a range of battlefield targets, including enemy vehicles, field fortifications and infantry positions.
The M48 was a high-explosive (HE) shell designed primarily for use against unarmoured targets, field defences and enemy positions. High-explosive ammunition complemented armour-piercing rounds, allowing tank crews to provide direct support to infantry and engage targets that did not require anti-armour ammunition.
Wooden ammunition crates were an important part of the supply system, protecting shells during transport and storage. Their distinctive construction and printed markings make them an interesting detail for modelling American armoured units and their logistical support. The crates can be displayed closed or incorporated into scenes showing ammunition being prepared and delivered to combat vehicles.
This set is suitable for detailing models of the M3 Lee, M3 Grant and M4 Sherman, as well as transport vehicles and supply scenes. The shells and crates can be arranged inside a tank, beside a vehicle or in an ammunition storage area, adding atmosphere and historical detail to a World War II diorama.
